Hi Aaron, You get captcha token errors when you hit the authtoken endpoint very frequently. You should reuse the authtokens to avoid getting these errors.
See http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2010/07/discover-v2009-working-with-authtokens.html for a detailed blog on authtokens, errors and workarounds. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
