I searched everywhere including llm models on how to use youtube apis for live chat every thing points to using livestream youtube api which we need to keep pinging fetch api and check if we have any new messages.
This way it consumes the free quota of 10000 requests per day for youtube api v3 within few hours.
How does nightbot manage to read messages and send messages all the time without finishing of it's quota.
Are you guys paying for the apis or any requests needs to be made for increasing the quota or Are you guys using any other apis which doesn't consume much of quota?

Nightbot has an increased quota limit in order to maintain it's functionality using YouTube's API.
