title: Understanding YouTube quota limits: total per day vs. per 100 seconds?
body: <p>YouTube imposes the following quota cost limits (default values listed):</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Queries per day  = 1Million units</li>
  <li>Queries per 100 sec per user = 300,000 units/100sec/user</li>
  <li>Queries per 100 seconds = 3,000,000</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What is the meaning of the last limit? How can the quota per 100 seconds exceed the total quota per day?</p>
