On digging into further, found that LocationCriteriaService is always throwing this RateExceededError. Even the sample code “GetLocationCriteria.java” at http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-java/source/browse/trunk/examples/v201109/GetLocationCriteria.java is throwing the same error on the first request itself. We retried the same request after 30 seconds but still the same error.
Please advise on this issue at earliest as we cannot do Geo Targeting anymore.
