I've noticed the error seems to go away around 3 a.m. EST as well, which is midnight for Ebay servers. The error is popping up a lot now though. The 5k count thing kinda makes sense since it stops when a new day starts on Ebay servers. I don't really know the inner working of API's and such, but maybe it could help if we could get a more definitive time frame of when the error starts/stops showing.

I'm going to try and keep track too, but I've got the same sleep issues, lol :)
