Have any other advertisers noticed a large increase in bot this month? Typically we get a few thousand a day but yesterday we were seeing 10k an hour. I contacted our Google support team and they're claiming that it's a Google bot, and we're a large advertiser so it's not surprising we'd see a ton of hits from a G bot but we've never seen them crawl this hard before.

anyone else seeing a spike?

Nope, it could be that Google lost some data in their servers and needed to recrawl you.
