I keep getting this request/error related to my [email edited from public] @gmail.com which is the account my calendar is on from Google

"Error 403: rate_limit_exceeded

This app has reached its sign-in rate limit for now.

Google limits how quickly an app can get new users. You can try signing in again later or ask the developer (provider-for-google-calendar@googlegroups.com) to increase this app's sign-in rate limit.

If you are the developer for this app, you can request a sign-in rate limit increase."

Can you let me know what you can do about this as it is a real nusance.

Thanks Phil

Latest Thunderbird provides built-in option to connect to Google Calendar. You could try it to see if there is an improvement. Disable the addon. Remove the google calendar. Then recreate - New > Calendar > on the network > select/enter the gmail email address and click on Find Calendar' > choose calendar(s) and click on 'Subscribe'
