My application had been sending mail without a problem as of last
week. I uploaded a new version of the app a week ago (did not change
the code that emails) and now get

com.google.apphosting.api.ApiProxy$OverQuotaException: The API call
mail.Send() required more quota than is unavailable.

even though my quota shows zero emails sent so far. Any ideas? My
app id is insiderclues.

Thanks.

Same issue here. Being over quota is impossible since I've sent like
three messages. Any help?

Cynthia,

What's your application ID?

Crag, is there any chance you could be over a CPU quota? I checked your application and you are pretty close to an hourly quota. I'll investigate to see if exceeding a CPU quota on sending a mail is triggering that error.

Thanks for taking a look, Ikai.

I doubt it is an hourly CPU thing. After 20 hours, I have used 33% of
CPU quota and the load will likely have been well distributed over
that time. Also, searching the logs for [Qq][Uu][Oo][Tt][Aa] do not
reveal anything except for mail.send calls.

My app id is rakontu. The issue came up when one of my users tried to
send an email with a list of To: addresses with 10 emails in it. I
tried to replicate the error and couldn't, but I only tried sending to
two people at once. Could there be some hidden email to-list cutoff?

There are also burst quotas:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Per-minute_Quotas

The limits are here:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html#Mail

The quota you're exceeding with 10 emails is the 8 recipients/minute limit. Note that if you enable billing, this quota will go up to 5,100 recipients a minute. We'll only bill you if you exceed the 2,000 free, so it might be a good idea to turn this on if you need to do one-to-many emailing.

BUT - a bit of feedback - 8 is A WHOLE LOT smaller than 2000. Moving
the free limit up to say 20 would probably make a big difference to
most people.

very agree with this idea!

can you guys increase recipients quota per minute to 20,
increase message body size quota per minute to 1MB, and
keep daily quota unchanged?

or i must introduce "task queues" into my app soon.
