Why am I hitting the datastore read operation quota?


I was in a place without Internet access for 3 weeks and just came back to find out that one of my apps since January 18 started to reach a quota limit (Datastore Read Operations) after around the 18 hours. I don't see any increase in traffic from either users or crawlers. This is the error in the logs: "The API call datastore_v3.RunQuery() required more quota than is available."

It seems very strange since this application has been running for some years and I'm memcaching most the datastore requests.

Please help - This is affecting my bottom line! Thanks.


Solution

  • I found a subset of pages in the site that had got a sudden interest from several crawlers and some of the requests that those pages made to the Datastore were not being memcached, so that was it...problem solved. Thanks.
