[Google Maps API v2] googleapis OVER_QUERY_LIMIT

Referred here by Google Account Executive.

I'm trying to accumulate some vector data from <overview_polyline> to
demonstrate within my company the value of routing over the great
circle calculations performed in-house.

I was querying http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml with
about 300 requests and throttled each request by a random number of
seconds (between 45 and 90 seconds each) so as not to overwhelm or
machine-gun the servers with my requests.

After some 50 requests, I started receiving the OVER_QUERY_LIMIT
message. (To be clear, I was doing this from my home account. So, I
was not using an IP address within my company which could have been
used by others for the same purposes and thus trigger the LIMITs
listed.)

I am easily within the 2,500 per day limit and have been told by a
google Account Executive that the free access has a limit of 5
requests per second. These limits were obviously not exceeded.

I do not know how else to proceed in gathering this proof-of-concept
data. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Kier
