Exceeding API quota - consequences?
We are using the free API for a simple 501C3 card. Usually our geocoding usage is pretty low, but the change we made [oops] caused all> 2500 records to be re-requested.
We can wait for a 24 hour "timeout".
Our concern is whether Google will report this as an abuse? Do I need to write code to limit geocode usage to 2499 / day in case of a future event?

Google does not view daily quota exceeding as abuse. You can run anti-abuse systems in case you send too many requests per second from the same IP address as far as I know, but if your QPS is within 50 requests per second you should be fine. The daily quota is reset automatically, so you should just wait until 0:00 PDT when the reset normally happens.
