Hi, we are using the TrafficEstimatorService in our UI to give advice for expected clicks and cost during campaign creation (similar to the Adwords UI). This used to work fine, but today this feature is practically broken. The reason is a very often occurring RateExceededError (which we practially never saw during the history of this feature use). The detailed error message is:
[RateExceededError <rateName=RATE_LIMIT, rateKey=null, rateScope=ACCOUNT, retryAfterSeconds=30>] This is rather nondescript as far as error details go... but at least it actually suggests that the scope of this error is ACCOUNT, right? This seems to be just not true, as this error also can occur in the first ever usage of the TrafficEstimatorService for an account. In my tries it seems more like the Rate is affected over all accounts of an MCC (or maybe even over the developer token?). First call after some pause works, but another call on a different account soon after might not work. This behaviour makes this error especially painful as you can imagine. I know that the TrafficEstimatorService might be a sensible service to use, but our usage is just as intended and historically does not produce an excessive number of calls over any span of time, quite on the contrary. I'm still hoping the TrafficEstimatorService is just having a bad day and the issue gets resolved soon?!? Note: A few weeks ago there was another bad TrafficEstimator day with the estimates being all over the place (like submissing fewer keywords, and getting more instead of fewer clicks etc). This could be reproduced in the Adwords UI actually, so it wasn't an API matter and thus not relevant for this forum; luckily the next day everything was back to normal. But this time it really looks like an API problem, so now here is my call for help.
