Adwords API quota - How big is yours?

[inbound]

I'm about to embark on some analysis of data using the Adwords API, I'm curious as to how big the quotas go as I'll need TONS of units. An idea of any correlation between spend and units would be good too.

Thanks

30M & counting...

Google's going to start charging for API usage in '06, and those making massive use of the API will be paying beaucoup bucks. Not sure if T's & C's allow me to say much, but our understanding is that's the case.

Heard that too from on high Shorebreak.
However, also heard that those with a certain level of quota will be grandfathered in?

ie - if you want to buy quota, you can.

Also remember that some operations consume more than quota unit. Here is the rate sheet.
