Thanks for following this up Eric. I will make sure we account for quota on faults to. When you say "where the error was due to a problem on Google's servers" does that mean whenever the error is internal error?
In the example I posted (reported as 787 quota) it was reported as an INTERNAL_API_ERROR, but was due to me deliberately using a bad adgroup ID. Is this considered a server error or input error? i.e. Would this be charged or not? Interstingly most of the time it was only 1 quota, but when I added a few more 0's to the invalid adgroup id it gave the 787 On Dec 2, 3:53 am, AdWords API Advisor <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Fred, > > Thank you for the follow up information.
