Cannot delete from datastore emulator - python-3.x

Question

I have this simple piece of code:
from google.cloud import datastore
import requests
ds_c = datastore.Client(_http=requests.Session)
for entity in ds_c.query(kind='Kind').fetch():
ds_c.delete(entity.key)
I am getting:
google.api_core.exceptions.ResourceExhausted: 429 Received message larger than max (4207799 vs. 4194304)
Full stack trace:

The easiest work around would be to fetch only the keys you are looking for, e.g. for entity in ds_c.query(kind='Kind').keys_only().fetch(): It's probably a good idea to add a limit to your fetch to reduce the size of the response, e.g. for entity in ds_c.query(kind='Kind').keys_only().fetch(limit=500):
