New Project Create and already at Quota Limit

[rkrausse]

Hello,

    New here. I just created a NEW project, added API access to Drive and Sheets. My first called to sheets to clear out a sheet returns 

Quota exceeded for quota metric 'Write requests' and limit 'Write requests per minute per user' of service 'sheets.googleapis.com' for consumer 'project_number:XXXXXXXXXXX

How can it be exceeded when I just created it? Is it by project or user? How can I see these in the console.

Thanks

Ralph
