Google has just recently implemented a new throttling system on the API. The exact threshold has not been published, but it seems to be dynamic. Two things that you should know about it: first, if you're making enough requests to get banned for a time, generally speaking, Google's servers think you're using automated queries of some sort, which are prohibited in the TOS. In other words, automated queries are not allowed, and if you are using them, you will need to do something different. And second, if your application does abide by the TOS and you simply have so much traffic that Google's servers are mistaking you for a bot of some sort, check out the new userip parameter. If you are using the API from a server-side script (as it sounds to me like you are), you can use the userip param to send the IP address of the client on whose behalf you are sending the request.
