Each OAuth user you're making requests on behalf of gets 350 calls. So, in total you do have 350*100 calls, but only a maximum of 350 for each user. You can check the headers being returned from the API to see what class of rate-limting is being enforced. What action are you performing when you're hitting the rate-limiting?
