UrlFetchApp "Bandwidth quota exceeded" — error not matching documented quotas, sudden onset across many users

Same error using Google Apps Script Workspace Account (for which I get a 30 min / execution).

Exception: Bandwidth quota exceeded: ... Try reducing the rate of data transfer.

Increasing the time between API calls (UrlFetchApp.fetch()) using Utilities.sleep() makes no discernible difference.

I’ll keep checking this thread, please post updates here if anyone gets a response/solution. Thank you
