Confusion over my API key

Question

This is directed at the team, since nobody else will be able to help.

The key I took out for StackMobile is behaving strangely. I make a few requests, and then the limit resets to 0. (By limit, I'm referring to the X-RateLimit-whatever-its-called header.)

Update: it's not the limit (10000) that's getting reset, it's the number of requests remaining. It starts at 9999 and every few requests, it resets to 9999.

Answer 1

Fixed.

Remember, that the API limit is per-IP and per-site. For you, the important part is per-site.

So, SO gets 10,000 requests a day, SF gets 10,000 requests a day, etc. etc. This can make your about kind of... confusing, as its showing the last requests headers.
