YouTube API has a daily quota of 10,000 units. Read operations cost ~1 unit, write operations cost ~50 units. Normal streaming use stays well within limits.
One exception: search.list (used by yt-search-videos) costs 100 units per call — about 100 searches per day on the default quota. When the quota is spent, search tools return a clear quotaExceeded message; prefer yt-list-videos (by channel) for cheap listing.
