2) I find it odd that Snapjoy is offering this at a time it isn't accepting new accounts: I clicked "sign up" and entered an e-mail address to be notified about when they're expanding.
Suspending an API key after that user exceeds a published rate limit sounds perfectly reasonable. We have no reason to believe it wasn't automated and temporary, yet. That's not "lame".
The limit was 3600 API calls per hour. They moved 125,000 photos per hour. I don't know how many calls that involves, but it appears well over the limit.
