Hi, I am the only developer with access to the API, so scenario #2 is applicable. My main issue is that the retry after 30 seconds isn't actually valid, it seems to be much longer and I can't really code a throttle if the time being reported is inaccurate. The advice from the pages linked basically says to wait 30 seconds, but when I do, I get the same error right away. I don't want to trigger a longer ban, so I've instituted a halt on my script when there's a rate exceeded error. Based on the load volume you mentioned, that would make sense why I can run my script at night without problems, but I should still be able to access it during peak hours as well. Since the weekend is coming up, I'll give it a shot with a longer sleeper in place, but it would be great to actually get an accurate figure on how long to throttle the script by as the suggestion by google's api of waiting 30 seconds isn't accurate.
