As we first announced on April 11, 2006
(http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2006/04/revisions-to-adwords-api-beta-program.html),
today marks the start of the new AdWords API Beta program terms and
conditions. Starting today, the current developer quota limits have
been abandoned and developers will begin to accrue charges at the rate
of $0.25/1000 quota units consumed (or local currency equivalent). We
believe these changes will result in more flexible and scalable system
for quota allocation and consumption.

You can find more information on the billing process at
http://www.google.com/support/adwordsapi/bin/answer.py?answer=46894.

If you are having difficulty accessing the AdWords API, please verify
that you have completed your registration
(http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2006/08/important-api-registration-process-now.html)
and have incorporated your approved Developer Token and Application
Token into your API request headers
(http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/developer/index.html#adwords_api_intro_request).

Since we're paying for it now, can we expect bugs like the "No_reply"
bug and the "Either this object does not exist, or this user does not
have permission to access it" bug to be fixed?

Both of these bugs are making the API unusable at the moment, and have
been going on for weeks.

I agree, this is intollerable!!!

Tuesday, we experienced a 10% failure rate (2500 failure). I haven't
tried to calculate today, because I am busy adding more detailed error
tracking to our code. So far, things are better (30 ~5/6am EST, 30
6/7am EST, and 20 8/9 pm EST), but it is still unacceptable.

We have been trying to sort this out with the support staff, but they
won't even respond. I can't believe they haven't gone to a trouble
ticketing system yet. Sure hope some of those smart people they've
hired address supporting this system.

I'm getting the same error on addCampaign in the sandbox, although
getAllAdWordsCampaigns works. Full request/response below.
