Hello Daniel,

In this case, you might not be reaching the per-day quota but the
requests-per-second/per-minutes quota. I can't give you exact numbers, but
please be aware that each user has different quotas:
  - number of request per seconds
  - number of request per hour
  - number of request per half-day
  - number of request per day

This is to ensure that no user abuses our APIs by sending too many requests
a day, or too many requests per second that would be seen as a DOS attack.

The best way to work-around this would be to limit the number of thread you
have and implement an exponential
backoff<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_backoff>retry
mechanism when catching this kind of exception.

Best,
Alain
