Just because you get that many in a day, does not mean you can use it all in the span of a few hours.
You need to spread the requests over the whole day. Pretend its its 1041 every hour, if you want help visualizing how it works. I dont think its actully implemented as a 1 hour window (just like it's not actully a 24 hour window, or at least there are multiple windows) Also note is per IP address, not per key or per domain or similar. Beware that you are not sharing your IP address with other users.
