Public bug reported:

evolution-data-server (e-d-s) 3.20 before 3.20.6 and 3.22 before 3.22.2
had bugs that caused users using Google services to experience daily
limit timeouts and authentication errors. Unfortunately, users using
older versions are causing those problems for everyone that still uses
the affected API key. Therefore GNOME is updating the API key used by
GNOME Online Accounts. For more info, see LP: #1649995 and
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/774202

- I don't know yet if e-d-s before 3.20 is also affected. I asked but
you're welcome to ask the Evolution devs yourself.

- Upstream evolution has two ways to configure a Google account: GNOME
Online Accounts and e-d-s. I assume Ubuntu Online Accounts is a 3rd way.
(I think e-d-s will need to switch to a new Google API key too but that
hasn't happened yet.)

- For Ubuntu 16.10, we need the latest evolution-data-server SRU (LP:
#1639926) to be pushed to yakkety-updates and fully 100% phased before
publishing the new key.

- Therefore, assuming Ubuntu Online Accounts is affected, I suggest you
consider changing the Google API key used in Ubuntu 16.10 and above. (We
might also need to make these changes to 16.04 LTS too.)
