The [Google API rate limit](https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/limits) is 100 requests per 100 seconds per user and 500 requests per 100 seconds per project. Airbyte batches requests to the API in order to efficiently pull data and respects these rate limits. We recommended not using the same service user for more than 3 instances of the Google Sheets source connector to ensure high transfer speeds.
## Troubleshooting
-- Data changes in spreadsheets. If your sheet becomes empty, deleted, etc., its synchronization will be stopped. You will see the corresponding extended logs about this problem.
-- Permissions. The connector cannot synchronize tables to which you do not have proper permissions.
+- Data changes in spreadsheets. If your sheet is completely empty(no header rows) or deleted, Airbyte will stop attempting to sync it until it comes back. If this happens, the sync logs will contain a message saying the sheet has been skipped when syncing the full spreadsheet.
