I'm having the same problem. It comes and goes, but seems to happen
for quite a while once it starts. I'm developing an application on
google app engine, and I've got 2 cron jobs which run every 2 minutes.
Each of those jobs does a query (for 7 items by hash), and then either
an insert or update of 7 items. Originally I tried 25 items at a time,
but was getting timeouts from the urlfetch.

 It's possible that both cron jobs are running at the same time at
some point and calling 2 queries, followed by 2 batch insert/update
operations (for 7 items each). Is this too many calls?

 Also, I'm logged in using AuthSub (storing a session token and re-
using it), and my api key is set.
