Google Tasks API not using its increased quota

Question

I have a Windows Phone Google Tasks app that has been growing in popularity and a couple months ago I realized I was hitting the Google Tasks API courtesy quota of 5,000 daily requests.

I was getting 403 "DailyLimitExceeded". Following the advice of multiple forums, I requested an increase and was eventually granted 20,000 daily requests.. However, it still seems that the 5,000 limit is blocking me. To get around this I have created two more projects and have my app round robin users between them to help balance load.

I am using OAuth so I don't think I'm hitting the anonymous have limits. The projects all list the quota as 20,000 and track towards that but my original project starts erroring right around 5,000.. I have not hit that high of usage on the new projects yet. I have also tried turning off the API and back on, but that didn't help.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Can you share your project IDs with me? Private message me the details on G+: google.com/+EricKoleda — Eric Koleda, Oct 20 '14 at 15:31

Your projects should have higher quota now, with the general problem being fixed early next week. — Eric Koleda, Oct 24 '14 at 13:17

There was a bug in the quota increase process that prevented changes from going into effect. The bug has been fixed in code and should be released early next week.
