Hi Greg, As described in this blog post:
http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2010/06/better-know-error-rateexceedederror.html The rate limiting uses a token bucket algorithm, so once you fill your bucket you'll have to wait for it to drain a little before making new requests. Unfortunately the exact configuration of the bucket size and drain time is not made public. If you are consistently hitting rate errors then you should adjust your application to space out requests.
