Do asynchronous event pushes count toward the 50,000 request limit in the GA API?
On the quota policy section of the documentation they describe contributing requests as "50,000 requests per project per day"
Is this only related to API calls or does it also apply to event pushes?
The 50,000 request limit is for the APIs both the Managemnt and Report REST APIs.
Data Collection is a different deal and have different limits. It is currently limited to 10M hits per month on Google Analytics Free Version. A hit is caused by any request to Google Servers as a result of tracking. and that includes pageviews and events among some less common like ecommerce, a social interaction tracking.

I am trying to build an application using Google Analytics real-time API. So, I see this quota limit at 50,000/project. I am aware of 10,000/Google Analytics View limit. So, based on these values, my application can handle only 5 users/day.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there any workaround for this?
Its 50,000 API calls per day to query your data, not for collecting data.
What is this 10,000 Google Analytics View limit you refer to? It is not listed on the GA quotas and limits page
There is a 10million hits per month limit per web property, if you go over that then they ask you pay for GA360
What is the Google Analytics Management Write API quota limit? Is it 50 requests per day or 500, because the documentation states that it is 50 requests per day but when I'm filling the quota augmentation demand form, it says that it's 500 requests.
50 requests seem to be too low and it is the case for my project.
On the other hand, where can I check my daily usage of write requests? The console usage tab doesn't show it.
EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the Google Form to demand an increase in quota limits
Google form quota limits
Google Management Write API is at 500 requests per day.
The quota limits depend a lot upon which methods you are using. Please consult the Quota Limits documentation.
The following quotas apply to Management API, Core Reporting API v3, MCF Reporting API, Metadata API, User Deletion API, and Real Time Reporting API:
50,000 requests per project per day, which can be increased.
10 queries per second (QPS) per IP address.
In the API Console, there is a similar quota referred to as Requests per 100 seconds per user. By default, it is set to 100 requests per 100 seconds per user and can be adjusted to a maximum value of 1,000. But the number of requests to the API is restricted to a maximum of 10 requests per second per user.
If your application makes all API requests from a single IP address (i.e., on behalf of your users), use the userIP or quotaUser parameter with each request to get full QPS quota for each user. See the standard query parameters summary for details.
Write APIs
These quotas apply to the write (insert, update, patch, and delete) requests:
50 write requests per project per day, which can be increased
1.5 queries per second (QPS) per Account ID
actually quota
response from Google
the default quota is 50.
There used to be a whitelist so it was effectively 0 until you got whitelisted and then it was 500 (once whitelisted). We removed the whitelist and reduced it to 50 so that people can use the API without having to wait to be whitelsited. If they need more they can request additional quota.
I wonder exactly the same. I wish to get my write quota increased to 500.
From my experience, the usage of your write requests is under "Queries per day". This morning I only made 50 write requests and it now shows 50/50 000 queries for today. Doesn't really make sense...
This post won't clear up the write quota but it will show a source of the confusion - hopefully Google will clarify this
This api-quota-faqs page clarifies a number of ambiguities regarding quotas and batching (e.g. batching doesn't help with the Management API write quota).
But the 50 vs 500 ambiguity is currently still perpetuated: The current version of that page shows "Last updated April 13, 2018":
What is the maximum quota increase limit for Management API write requests?
The maximum daily quota per project for Management API write requests is 500. We normally don't grant more than 1,000 to 2,000 write requests per project per day. In some cases, we grant higher limits temporarily. Please include your justification in the quota increase request form.
That page is required reading before submitting the form to request an increase but that shows 50 - see image
Our usage metrics shows 71 successful Management API write requests for the day but we still got write quota errors - so neither 50 nor 500 is validated.
Regarding finding the usage:
(I don't see our Management API write quota listed with the other quotas)
The traffic and error metrics are found at APIs & Services > Dashboard.
Clicking on the Analytics API will take you to detailed metrics with listings by method (e.g. insert, update, etc)

I've found some old resources on that:

Google Analytics daily URL limit: does it affect URL-sequence goal tracking?
Merging Google Analytics with your Data Warehouse
I haven't been able to find any official documentation.
Is this limit still actual?
Especially for gtag.js
The daily limit that i have heard of is around 2 hits per day anything more than that and Google starts to drop hits. The official limits can be found in the documentation below.
Directly from the documentation Limits and quotas
These limits apply to the Web Property / Property / Tracking ID.
10 million hits per month per property
If you go over this limit, the Google Analytics team might contact you and ask you upgrade to Analytics 360 or implement client sampling to reduce the amount of data being sent to Google Analytics.
For monthly total Analytics 360 limits, please contact your account manager or service representative.
The gtag.js appears to be the same doc
Our organization is approaching the hard limits for the Google Analytics API (10000 profile access/day). Google clearly indicates that they will not increase this.
Analytics API quota request form
Quotas that CANNOT be increased:
-- Per view (profile) limit of 10,000 requests/day [403 Error with Message about Profile limit: dailyLimitExceeded]
There is a Google Analytics Premium for 150 000USD a year but that is much more that we can afford for such a service.
Is there no middle ground for a paid increase to the Google Analytics API quotas?
There is no way to increase the 10,000 request per profile / view limit. Even if you have a premium Google analytics account that wont change.
What you do get with a Premium analytics account is the option to use BigQuery with Google Analytics making this problem go away.
Option make a second profile / view for the web property you get another 10k that way.
Currently I am working with Google Calendar integration in our product. I am very new to the Google Calendar API.
As a first step, I have gone through the Google API documentation, and I am little bit confused with the Calendar API usage limits. I have the following questions regarding this:
What is the usage limit for Calendar API? I have seen as 500,000 requests per day. Is this limit based on the hosting domain/URL or a particular user?
In some other document, it says 10,000. Is this limit for one user? Can I get the details of how it is counting?
Can I use the Javascript API for integration since Google released it for beta version?
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/javascript/start/start-js
Which will be useful: either the Javascript API or the server side API? Is there any difference in usage limit between the Javascript API and server side API?
1, 2: Currently it is 500 000 queries a day per project. That means all your users combined can make at maximum 500k queries a day. There is also a per-user limit of 5 queries per second which you can change in the console (console.developers.google.com). If you need more queries per day, you can submit a quota request through the console.
3, 4: yes, you can certainly use javascript. There is no difference in limits for server vs. client apps.
For 1 and 2 the current quotas (set maximum by default) are as follows:
Queries per day: 1,000,000
Queries per 100 seconds per user: 500
