Hello Andreas,
Based on the details shared, it looks like you're receiving an error with
the rate scope as Account. This indicates that application is making a high
number of requests per second on a single AdWords account. You could wait
at least the amount of time specified in the retryAfterSeconds and retry
the request again. You will need to consider all requests made against that
account irrespective of whether the call was made via API or web interface.
Please note that the API call might still fail as the rate limits are not
based on a constant QPS and are subjected to change.
For the Rate limits, when you retry the requests, your application should
use an exponential backoff policy
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bestpractices#distinguish_error_types>.
For example, if you first pause 5 seconds before the first retry, you could
pause 10 seconds after the second and 20 seconds after the third retry.
Exponential backoff helps ensure you are not calling the API too
aggressively. This guide
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/rate-limits#take_control>
has
best practices that can be implemented to handle the rate limit errors.
Please take a look at the system limits guide
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/limits#targeting-idea>
for
the TargetingIdea specific limits. You can also take a look at Batching
Targeting Ideas
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bestpractices#batch_targeting_ideas>
to
make requests more efficiently. Could you please give this a try and let me
know if you're still having an issue?
Thanks,
Bharani, AdWords API Team

Hello,
I am having problems getting the GetKeywordIdeas to work reliably. It will
randomly throw this error.
1. I am not making excessive requests, I manually make them from the IDE.
2. When I got the errors I always waited for at least 30 seconds
3. I have tried 3 different accounts, both have spent 10 of thousands for
ads and it happens on all of them.
4. The very two first queries I ever did got this error, how can I have
exceeded a limit if I never used the API before?
Is there a solution to this issue, or a workaround? It is a great source of
information for my customers but I need to be able to guarantee I can
deliver it to them. Below is complete SOAP log for last time this happened:
