RATE_EXCEEDED BillingPerDay

[goingdev]

Yesterday I had used the API to upload almost 9,000 adParams, which worked well. About 5 minutes later I tried uploading some 500 more but it gave me the RATE_EXCEEDED error with a "retryAfterSeconds" of "84600" (24 hours).

Now, just about 24 hours later, the API is still giving me that same error. What does this mean? How can I resolve this error? 

Even with that extra 500 adParams, the operation count is still less than 10,000 operations. And why is it still telling me 84,600 seconds?

Thanks.

I tried about 2 hours later and it worked.

Hello,

"Basic" API access level is limited to 10000 operations per day. Please see the rate sheet for more details:

  https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/ratesheet

Operations counter "reset" can happen at different times of the day. 84600 is just a constant we use to report operations number exceeded.

So it seems that the reset is inconsistent is that correct? Or maybe I should say its non deterministic. This can be frustrating as we don't know when to retry (turn everything back on), once you've hit the rate limit. Currently it's a guessing game, and can be a costly one since the timer resets every time you hit the API while still locked out - correct?
