Yes each time a user makes a request to the app, their user entity is loaded and their request count incremented, so the "User" entity is fetched, updated and "put" very frequently. Surely though the datastore should be able to handle this, it's not like I'm making thousand of requests per second, more like 2-5.
Also would this explain why the app was running fine for days and then for a 5 hour period yesterday started throwing errors, only to "correct" itself and work fine ever since? Maybe a Googler could look into my specific app for me and let me know what's going wrong because this is perplexing me! I'll email you the app id if possible.
