Hello everyone, I checked the behavior on an AWS instance _without_ static IP (which is called by Amazon elastic IP) and I do not see any problem with the limits. The "limit status" shows that I have exactly 150 calls left minus the ones I have explicitly used. I do not obeserve any behvior where my limits are affected by other users with which I share the resource. Am I missing something? Could it be just a matter of luck/random behavior?
