It is for Calendars - I don't use Google for tasks.

Correct.  I had problems with GoA at some point and when Evo
implemented the correct authentication I switched to that.  (No, I
can't remember what the issue with GoA was now.)

Is there a correct or best way to be doing it?

I don't know anything about the API and developer side of Google - what
determines the request limit? Do you have to make a case to get it
increased or is it a matter of money or is it Google's perception of
how important/big the project is?

And you said "requests error limit", whereas the error message just
says "exceeded daily limit". So is the limit on the number of errors or
on the overall number of requests?

If its an error limit thing, and since there will be a fair number of
people still on 3.24, will 3.26 still be affected by the Google limit
because the users of 3.24 will be breaking things? Is there any
possibility of back-porting patches into 3.24?
