I'm also running into this problem running on Google App Engine.

I'm making less than one request per minute.

Calls to the query method of a GoogleBaseService object intermittently
return with a ServiceException.

Calling getResponseBody on that exception gives me the following:

<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8"/><title>Sorry...</title><style> body { font-family:
verdana, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #fff; color: #000; }</
