I've been running this amazing script (provided in full, below) with great success (thanks to user tedinoz!) but have recently been getting an error that reads "Exception: Limit Exceeded: Email Total Attachments Size" -- even though I haven't exceeded the "Email Total Attachments Size" (25 MB / msg, based on this Google Apps Script site).
I've reviewed and removed any all of my large-sized email attachments (and emptied the trash in my GDrive), just to be sure. That seemed to work at first, but the problem has recurred and I'm unable to fix it.
Are there ways to fix the script, or modify my settings in my Google Drive or Google Sheets, that would overcome this Exception error? Many thanks!
