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.
