I'm having this problem.
This IP has exceeded the request-per-day limit
I hardly believe that with StackPrinter, I'm depleting 10.000 requests per-day, per-site :).
Could you please verify?
EDIT:
it's started to work again
EDIT:
down again :(

There are a number of [app]s using Google App Engine, like StackPrinter.
Unfortunately, you're all using the same pool of IPs. Thus, you're all on the same quota.
If you can introduce a proxy or forwarder of some manner to your [app], you can solve this problem.

@Kevin Uh..why the same quota since we have different keys?
Kevin Montrose
@systempuntoout - because you have the same IP. keys aren't meaningfully secret, so giving them different quotas would just be a way of eliminating quotas altogether.

@Kevin Why would just be a way of eliminating quotas altogheter?
Kevin Montrose
@systempuntoout - because its trivial to harvest/generate keys. It would take no effort to use a few hundred keys for a single [app], thereby illicitly increasing your quota. This is why we throttle based on IP.

@Kevin, probably you need to make some changes to how you identify clients for the API. As I know, App Engine provides clear way to distinguish the source of a request (by embedding the app ID in the referer header). You definitely should fix this issue with applications on App Engine. We've worked hard to build our apps that help grow the Stack Exchange and now we have to stop because you can't figure out how to identify App Engine apps
