'Google Calendar Api quota: use one google account for thousand users

I see there are 2 quota types in Google Calendar Api.

  1. Queries per day. Max 1,000,000
  2. Queries per 100 seconds per user. Max 100,000,000

I can't understand how these quotas work. How can (2) be higher than (1)?

My production scenario:

  • Our product has many customers (hundreds)

  • Each customer may have many users

  • And users will sync their Google Calendar with our system. And we're using GoogleApi to do the job

  • Currently, because we don't understand how the quotas work, we've been creating each customer a new developer account to call the api.

I want to be clear about the quotas.

Because 1 million requests per day may not be enough, but 100 millions requests per 100 seconds per user is fine and we can use only one google account to do the job.

Thank you!

[Update] New: They did change it! https://developers.googleblog.com/2021/06/the-google-calendar-api-has-changed-how-we-manage-API-usage.html

Old: Did anyone else notice that this Google Calendar API "quota per day" does not exist anymore? It seems to have changed to "Queries per minute". Can anyone confirm?
