Hi, I am getting this error too. I just started developing with the API, new dev token approved yesterday. First two request I got this error so I find it very strange that the limit should be exceeded. A don't do many requests a minute since I am doing them manually trying to figure out what is wrong. Minutes apart sometimes hours and I still get this error 50% of the times. When I get them I always wait for ~45s. I tried it against other customer IDs too, but same error.
Please advise, see req/resp below: [main] WARN com.google.api.ads.adwords.lib.client.AdWordsServiceClient.requestInfoLogger - Request made: Service: TargetingIdeaService Method: get clientCustomerId: 723-498-3557 URL: https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/o/v201806/TargetingIdeaService Request ID: 0005831bf3fc5c450ac540caca0c4977 ResponseTime(ms): 67 OperationsCount: 1 IsFault: true FaultMessage: ApiException{applicationExceptionType=ApiException, errors=[RateExceededError{apiErrorType=RateExceededError, errorString=RateExceededError.RATE_EXCEEDED, fieldPath=, rateName=RATE_LIMIT, rateScope=ACCOUNT, reason=RATE_EXCEEDED, retryAfterSeconds=30, trigger=}]} [main] INFO com.google.api.ads.adwords.lib.client.AdWordsServiceClient.soapXmlLogger - SOAP request: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
