In the last days the availability has degraded a lot and I am working on improving the situation. I have so far blocked a couple of IP addresses of people who do several hundred thousand lookups per day. And I am enforcing now a credit limit of 5000 per hour. If this does not improve the situation we will have to further reduce the number of allowed credits per IP address to far below the current limit of 50000 credits per day.
