Over the past 24 hours we had a large number of TubePress users report an error message from YouTube:
Serving Limit Exceeded
Most of our users have their own Google API Key, and our cloud-hosted TubePress installation isn't anywhere close to hitting the daily quota. I can't find any documentation on this particular error message, nor can I understand why it would suddenly present itself on so many sites with different keys.
Could anyone explain what's going on?

Projects that enable the YouTube Data API have a default quota allocation of 10,000 units per day, an amount sufficient for the majority of our API users. You can see your quota usage on the Quotas page in the API Console.
My YouTube API Key is Not Working Your API key may not be working because you're using it for the wrong project. Be sure you're using the key for the project that you created it for, especially if you created multiple projects at the same time. If it's still not working, consider creating a new API key entirely.
To be clear, an API Client must not store statistics retrieved as Non-Authorized Data for more than 30 days. For example, an API Client must not store the subscriber count for a YouTube channel for more than 30 days without authorization from the channel owner.
YouTube Data API costs are based on quota usage, and all requests will incur at least a 1-point quota cost. For each project, you're allowed 10,000 free quota units per day. You can use the quota calculator to determine your quota costs. If you need more queries, you can apply for higher quotas, but pricing may vary.
Even the reason of failure is about quota, it has nothing to do with the quota because the default limit is largely enough. The problem is the new Youtube anti-spam algorithm deployed at the end of last month. Unfortunately it impacts negatively on the normal users.

This is probably because your "Per-user limit" is set too low. You can up it by going to Google Developer console -> APIs -> Enabled APIs -> <the API that's causing you trouble> -> Quotas and set "Per user limit" higher.
