@John thanks a lot. 2 things : 1. Requests are still timing out though at a lesser rate, I guess this should die down in some time? 2. Can we prevent this from happening? I know apps from GAE end up misusing the API and your algo blocks the IP. But, won't you be able to whitelist the good apps?

The way that Google App Engine handles outbound connections is that many applications share and reuse outbound IPs from a proxy pool. This makes rate limiting much harder and determination of where abuse is sourcing from difficult to determine. The request timing out issue you're experiencing

@John Thanks a lot for having a second look :) I'm still getting timeouts. I understand it's difficult for you guys to determine the rogue apps. But, won't you be able to like put a check where calls that have the consumer key and secret are all allowed? -N On Sep 28, 11:19 am, John Adams

@Matt thanks a lot. Not seeing the timeouts any more. 500s are everywhere but I understand from your status blog it's a known thing. Thanks for all the help. Over the Appengine group, we've been discussing about IP blocking for cloud offerings like GAE. Would you be able to help with this?

Hi John, Just got news from appengine that it is being blocked. http://twitter.com/app_engine/status/25743996553 Can you please have a check? It must be the blocking issue, had one a few months back for Appengine apps. Seems to work fine on my local dev environment. -N On Sep 28, 6:49 am, John
