Hi Zweitze, The 250 MB limit is on the download size. If you are using getGzipReportDownloadUrl, then the gzip file is limited to 250 MB (which may expand to a bigger xml on your disk). If you are using getReportDownloadUrl, then your report is limited to 250 MB, since no compression is involved.
I'll check with the AdWords team once more and confirm if the behaviour has changed. Cheers, Anash P. Oommen, AdWords API Advisor.
