Quota policy error: Failed to resolve interval reference

[JohnSmith]

I followed the documentation, https://cloud.google.com/apigee/docs/api-platform/reference/policies/quota-policy?hl=en#samples, and implemented a quota policy. The XML is below. I get an error that Apigee fails to resolve the reference. I have the Verify API Policy implemented as verify-api-policy

XML:

<Allow count="3" countRef="verifyapikey.verify-api-key.apiproduct.developer.quota.limit"/>

<Interval ref="verifyapikey.verify-api-key.apiproduct.developer.quota.timeInterval"/>

<TimeUnit ref="verifyapikey.verify-api-key.apiproduct.developer.quota.timeunit"/>

<Identifier ref="verifyapikey.Verify-API-Key.client_id"/> </Quota>

Error:
"faultstring": "Failed to resolve quota interval reference verifyapikey.verify-api-key.apiproduct.developer.quota.timeInterval in quota policy CheckQuota",

Hi John Smith

If your VerifyAPIKey policy is named "verify-api-policy" then the variables you must reference in the quota policy will be will be

verifyapikey.verify-api-policy.apiproduct.developer.quota.limit

verifyapikey.verify-api-policy.apiproduct.developer.quota.timeunit

verifyapikey.verify-api-policy.apiproduct.developer.quota.interval

The "failed to resolve reference" mesage means "there's no variable with the name provided in the policy". If you correct your variable names you might be able to move forward.

You need to do first the api key verification.

then

verifyapikey.<api key verification policy name>.apiproduct.developer.quota.limit

verifyapikey.<api key verification policy name>.apiproduct.developer.quota.timeunit

verifyapikey.<api key verification policy name>.apiproduct.developer.quota.interval

Also, I will suggest to have default values in your policy also.

Hi John, there is nothing like timeInterval, it's only interval. And it's not timeUnit, it's timeunit. Just follow as I stated.

Thanks. Using your reference variables worked. I was using the XML from the documentation and it needs updating.
