RateLimitExceeded shortening URLs using Goog.gl, but usage far below limits?

I'm piping a list of URLs through the Goo.gl link shortener, and have a business account with an API that's being read (when I omit it, I get an un-auth'd error, and I see requests logged in my account)

But my rate limit is not being respected?

After 300 requests (about one per second) I get:

{"error"=>{"errors"=>[{"domain"=>"usageLimits", "reason"=>"rateLimitExceeded", "message"=>"Rate Limit Exceeded"}], "code"=>403, "message"=>"Rate Limit Exceeded"}}

Until I stop for a few minutes. If I request again too soon (few minutes), I can get one link shortened, then go back to rateLimitExceeded.

If I wait an hour or so (not sure exactly) I can rescan another 300.

What's going on, why is my quota 1,000,000 / day, and 1,000 / second and I'm still getting limited?

Sounds like question for Google support. – Sonny Jan 27 '15 at 18:18

The per second rate limit is much lower than stated in your OP: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/mcf/v3/limits-quotas#general_api – Sonny Jan 27 '15 at 18:27
Different quota for the API i'm using, and it's configurable http://cl.ly/image/3o3M1U243H1y – Jordan Warbelow-Feldstein Jan 28 '15 at 21:03
I think you linked to the wrong screenshot. – Sonny Jan 28 '15 at 21:10
Ahh, yup. Thanks @Sonny http://cl.ly/image/44053G212K2u – Jordan Warbelow-Feldstein Jan 29 '15 at 22:12
"If your application makes all API requests from a single IP address (i.e. on behalf of your users) you should consider using the userIP or quotaUser parameters with each request to get full QPS quota for each user." – Sonny Jan 29 '15 at 22:18
Where did you find that? I googled, and only found it talking about the Analytics api. I'm using the goo.gl url shortener. – Jordan Warbelow-Feldstein Jan 30 '15 at 04:56
Based on the documentation that I linked to, it looks like the quotas are shared across all of the APIs. – Sonny Jan 30 '15 at 14:03

It's the best I've been able to find. – Sonny Jan 31 '15 at 18:08
