  2. Too Many Requests: Google has a contact limit of 25,000 contacts including the trash, check here and ensure you have not exceeded this number (this includes trash), alternatively this could be caused by exceeding the daily or concurrent limits. The daily limit should reset at midnight although Google has not indicated whether this is PST/PDT or GMT.
