Database Quota Error

All I am trying to deploy are some cloud functions. I don’t even deploy all at once. I use the --only functions:NAME syntax. But I keep getting this consistently:

Error: Request to https://firestore.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_NAME/databases/(default had HTTP Error: 429, Quota exceeded for quota metric ‘Database operation requests’ and limit ‘Database Operations Per Minute’ of service ‘firestore.googleapis.com’ for consumer ‘project_number:XYZ’.

Again, I am just trying to deploy. I am not doing anything else. If I were trying to deploy ALL funcs at once, I’d understand getting this. But even 1 or 2 functions at a time results in this error. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

EDIT: I am on the Blaze plan in firebase as well.
Also, who do i reach out to increase the quota? I cannot seem to contact support. I tried buying the package but then it requires Google Workspace, but we already are linked with Microsoft for that so are we supposed to spend extra money to then spend extra money on support? doesn’t make sense to me. Please advise.
