I have been building an appengine product and I have gotten to the point where I need to convert html to pdf.  The conversion api seems to be what I want but I'm worried about the 100 daily limit of api calls.  Will be ok in the beginning but could cause a problem for me later. I would rather use appengine instead of a 3rd party service. Is this going to change? I'm assuming because it is in beta is the reason it is capped at 100.  If it is going to change, are we looking at coming out of beta soon or a year from now?  Do I have any other options?  

TIA

Hi Michael,
It is pretty unlikely for them to confirm if/when it will come out
of beta. I can tell you that they are generally pretty good about
increasing quotas if you've got a real need. Personally, I'd suggest
you get going with it, then once you're actually using some portion of
the quota contact them to get it increased. At that point you could
file an issue or catch someone during office hours and they could
probably help you.

Yeah, we are aware that 100 daily free quota is quite low. You can
start to use conversion API first, and let us know when you need more
quota.
