I started seeing 404 daily quota reached all of sudden so I went to my API console to check the logs. What I found there was just today, I got 43Mn requests from my API key, while the number of daily average requests was about 2.5Mn. Does it mean someone is doing something malicious with my API key? How do I investigate the issue?

Note: I am using the youtube API key in my chrome extension

It appears to be a major bug. Same problem here - quota usage spiked like crazy starting on Sept. 3 and requests now cost WAY more than the documentation states.

Someone reported it as a defect in their bug tracking system. I suggest everyone affected go there and star the defect to help call attention to it:
