I remember seeing it in the FAQ, I don't know if it was anywhere else. I finished seeding my database so this is no longer a current issue for me, but I was wondering:
Do you know if there are plans to increase the 2500 limit after v3 becomes more mature? Do requests that return over_query_limit count to the 2500 quota? Is there any way to see how much of our quota is used up at a given time?
