OverQuotaError(The API call datastore_v3.RunQuery() required more quota than is available WITH billing enabled

[Greger Wedel]

Tonight my app suddenly hit OverQuotaError(The API call datastore_v3.RunQuery() required more quota than is available.

I have billing enabled and all requests were affected. The query was a very simple lookup in a user table, so I don't think the per minute quota was hit.

This went on for about 4 hours and then suddenly, at 9am CET, all requests went back to normal, which leads me to be believe that quotas were reset. 

This seems like a bug? I would have assumed that I would have been charged.

Looking at the quota usage the datastore usage is reported to 0.04 million ops, way beyond the 0.60 quota.

Any insights?

Even though Billing is enabled, you can still have a low 'Spending Limit' set that prevents your quota from using up a set budget. I recommend you set your spending limit to be high enough in order to allow potential spikes in quota usage. 

If you are still seeing quota warnings after having billing enabled and a higher spending limit set, I ask that you open a PIT with your project ID so that we can investigate this in more depth.
