I'm a moderator on Arqade/Gaming.StackExchange! Besides my moderator duties, I also occasionally contribute to the Arqade Blog and write tools against the SE API. I enjoy video games, and I like helping people enjoy games as well.

On top of all that, I co-author (with my partner in crime EBongo) a blog about gaming and technology called Without the Sarcasm. Here are some recent items of interest:

My dummy access_token has run out, so I've switched back to not using one. I should know if it's still a problem in about 3,000 seconds :)

@Jonathan. - there's no web component to the tool whatsoever, and the URLs in the key were all bogus, so I had to set one up in order to get an access_token. I ran the test with the token and edited the question to show the results.

@Jonathan., I don't have a flow for that in my app currently. I'll see what I can do.

comment Can we have some debug endpoints for testing corner cases?
Yes, I was thinking I could also just set up my own debug service endpoints, but something integrated with the system would be slightly more ideal.

@Jonathan. I rent the IP as part of a VPS package, and this is the one and only app running on it and accessing the stack API. I had problems earlier this week where my quota was decreasing even though I wasn't using it, so I'm betting this is another bug along those lines.

@Jonathan. I added the additional data requested. In testing prior to the throttle violation, I had 10k as my max quota. I've also included the usage graph that shows I'd gotten to about 300 on the 5th before the violation kicked in.

I'm now making requests once every 2 minutes, and I'm still getting nothing but 503 errors. It seems like I should be able to make multiple requests per second without hitting the throttle limits, so any input would be most helpful.
