I'm having the same problem. My app on google app engine uses 2 cron
jobs set up which run every 2 minutes. Each of those does a single
query (for multiple items separated by spaces), then a batch insert
(or update, depending on the job). I've configured the insert and
update to do 7 at a time, since any more than that produces timeouts
during the urlfetch. I've got my api key set properly.

 I guess my question is: If I call it to do 7 batch inserts on one
thread, and 7 batch updates on another, and they get called around the
same time, does that count as 14 calls? Also, it seems like once I'm
in this state I stay that way for quite some time.

 Cheers,
 Steve
