The problems most people run into is that are usually action-based 
quotas (for example, trying to create hundreds of calendars at once). 
Another common problem is people polling our servers too frequently (a 
good rule of thumb trying to pull updates no freuently than once per 15 
minutes).

We don't have any support for using custom Atom feeds with the Calendar 
widget. However, you could create your own iCalendar file, import that 
into Google Calendar, and then display the imported calendar in the 
Calendar widget. There will be a bit of a delay though, since we cache 
external iCalendar files.
