I have a Windows Phone Google Tasks app that has been growing in popularity and a couple months ago I realized I was hitting the Google Tasks API courtesy quota of 5,000 daily requests.
I was getting 403 "DailyLimitExceeded". Following the advice of multiple forums, I requested an increase and was eventually granted 20,000 daily requests.. However, it still seems that the 5,000 limit is blocking me. To get around this I have created two more projects and have my app round robin users between them to help balance load.
I am using OAuth so I don't think I'm hitting the anonymous have limits. The projects all list the quota as 20,000 and track towards that but my original project starts erroring right around 5,000.. I have not hit that high of usage on the new projects yet. I have also tried turning off the API and back on, but that didn't help.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
There was a bug in the quota increase process that prevented changes from going into effect. The bug has been fixed in code and should be released early next week.
