Hello Justin, If you adhere to the timeouts specified in the rate limit errors, you will never be locked out for an entire day. Rate limits apply to all accounts, and they're enforced to make sure that one user cannot prevent the ability of another to use the API. You must honor the returned wait times specified by rate limits in order to make sure that your software does not get this last-resort 24 hour penalty. This penalty generally isn't issued the very first time you try to make a request that is rejected due to rate limit issues; you need to keep ignoring the errors and trying again before the specified time in order to get locked out for so long.
Once you implement wait and retry logic, you should never get locked out for more than a few minutes, or probably even less than that.
