As all Arcade Games (Levels and Trivias) are no-cost, requiring no credits or subscriptions, they are absolutely free for everyone. Therefore, why impose a 10 lab/day limit on Arcade games, significantly impacting Arcade enthusiasts?

Please remove the 10 lab/day limit from Arcade games, as they are entirely free and well-organized. We do not accept this policy if specifically imposed on Arcade Games. The Arcade experience would become more boring and tedious due to this policy. Hence, I strongly suggest removing this limit from Arcade Games badges.

[Abhishek213]

Correct we have large no participants who are doing labs on weekends and holidays they are very much frustrated with this policy.

If someome misuses resources of google then ban them not punish all students .

Also I think due to less days remaining for skill badge challenge large pool of students started doing labs that day so google cloud crashed that day not anyone misused the platform.

Please remove the limit @Yugali 

[sonawanelalit]

Since Arcade Games (Levels and Trivia's) are entirely free and require no credits or subscriptions, the 10 lab/day limit unduly impacts enthusiasts. Please consider removing this limit to improve the user experience.

[dhruvsaini83]

Yes you are right please remove 10 labs per day limit 

[Badsara_Umesh]

Yes...remove this 10 labs per day limit ...@Yugali

[deepalwin]

@Yugali This limit must be revoked since working professionals tend to complete the lab during weekends! 

Kindly have a look over this issue. 

Current Status :- 10Labs Limit in 24 hours
Expectations :- No Limits over the arcade labs with subscription

[S8ul]

Loving the new arcade games and trivia, but the 10 labs/day limit is really bumming us out. It’s frustrating and makes it hard to fully enjoy the experience. Many of us look forward to spending more time playing, but the cap is just too restrictive.

Can you please consider removing or at least increasing this limit? We just want to have fun and learn more without feeling limited.

Please remove the 10 lab/day limit from Arcade games. Since they are entirely free and well-organized, this restriction is unnecessary and negatively impacts the Arcade experience. We do not accept this policy if it is specifically imposed on Arcade Games. It makes the experience more boring and tedious. Therefore, I strongly suggest removing this limit from Arcade Games badges.

[amitsharma-2003]

Please remove the 10 lab/day limit from Arcade games. Due to this restriction, I can only complete 1-2 labs if a lab is hectic or if I encounter errors.

@Yugali Mam, I generously request you to please increase the limit to 24 labs per day ......as there is 24 hours in a day .....Limiting the console means smoothest performance I also appreciate your and customer cares thought .....but the quota became very low please look into this with your third eye ......10 labs per day if sometimes a lab gets failed twice we are done for the day cannot do more than 1 skill badges ....and some of the labs also get improved....I know that targeting ids who misused googles resourses and created the issue and glitches for some time .....but doing the 24 per day limit will be good for as you also as us....please consider....this

Hello @Yugali, As a long-time Google Cloud user, I would like to suggest that the 10 lab usage limits be removed. I believe that this kind of system will negatively impact the experience of users who are motivated to learn on Google Cloud. Since the Monsoon Challenge has concluded, the servers at Google will no longer be as heavy as they were previously, as fewer users will be commuting to labs.

[RiyaK]

@Yugali  The labs completed in Game Badges are counted towards Skill Badge but what if I have completed the Labs in Skill Badges then it should also be counted towards the Game/Level Badges as well. Furthermore, you've already established the labs' daily limit. What should I do now, in your opinion? since I need to get additional points in order to receive the voucher for the google certification exam.

Please either remove the daily limit or update the functionality of the Game badges.

Subject: Request to Remove 10 Labs in 24 Hours Limit

Dear @Yugali,

I hope you're doing well. I am writing to express my feedback regarding the current limit of completing only 10 labs within 24 hours. While I appreciate the engaging levels and trivia, I believe this restriction dampens users' enthusiasm like myself.

The 10-lab limit can be restrictive, especially for those eager to learn and participate actively. It discourages sustained engagement and prevents users from fully exploring the platform’s features. As a result, some of us may lose motivation to continue participating in the labs.

I kindly request that you consider revising or removing this limitation. By doing so, we can encourage more users to actively participate, learn, and contribute without feeling restricted by time constraints.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a positive change that benefits all members of our community.

[Masterpiece]

Program is much better but why this restriction of 10 labs/24 hour  because of this restriction not even 5 labs are complete 

Plz remove this restriction of google cloud labs completion or extend it to 40 labs

There is always gives errors on labs solutions and that why labs are not complete in one day please remove this restriction mam

[Aniket2004]

@Yugali please remove this limit to the enthusiasm for the arcade your 10  labs limit will decrease the enthusiasm in people by which less no.of people will perform labs 

I only did not perform labs for last 4 days because when I am free I perform the labs but now there is limit so plssssssssss..............remove lab limit 

[Riya_17]

in 24 hours claim 10 labs but i didn't receive 10 labs in 24 hours,  what i do?

[Abhishek213]

Now they have added 5 labs i.e 15 lab per day but due to qwiklabs failure I lost my 15 lab limit without even starting labs

[ShashwatKumar]

I strongly agree with everyone in the comments to remove 10labs/day limit. This is my first time participating in arcade games and all my excitement died down due to this limit. I request you to please consider removing the limit.

[xy1]

First of all thanks for accessing 15 labs per day,but one of them have one problem that is

if fisrt lab is access in 11am then tomorrow lab not open in 10am lab open in 24 hours later that means

open in 11am open. Please access labs in with in 24 hours at any time.
