Hitting API limit, despite having Standard access

[Sarah Hewitson]

We seem to be hitting the API limit, despite the fact that we now have Standard access to the API. I thought that Standard access was unlimited?

Hi Sarah, 

Regardless of the access level of your developer token, you'll encounter RateExceededErrors if you make a high number of requests per second on a single AdWords account managed by a manager account. This limit is metered on all requests to a single AdWords account, no matter which developer token was used to make the request. You can implement some of the strategies listed here to mitigate this error. 

If you are encountering RateExceededError in the Developer scope with your standard access developer token, please send over the logs for the requests which encountered this error. Please use Reply privately to author when responding. 

Thanks,
