I was wondering if the scenario of a server based app that lives in a hosted environment, where a single IP can be shared by many web sites.

 

As I understand the rate-limit as it stands, every site on the shared host IP, regardless of api key, will be sharing the same rate-limit of 10,000 per site per day.

more @ rate-limit per endpoint per IP VS. server apps in hosted environments

Looks like everyone in GAE either

  • gets unlimited rate-limit
  • rate-limit engine checks for key + ip + top level domain (or some variation) of the referrer as described in linked post
  • GAE is no longer a viable platform for API apps

NOTE: this issue is not limited to the current fire - anyone on a shared platform, e.g. standard shared webhosting, is vulnerable to this issue.
