Google Fonts API usage limits

I am researching the best way to use non-standard webfonts on a high-traffic site.

Really it comes down to whether we use a service such as Typekit / Google or serve the fonts ourselves.

The terms of use on Typekit are clear, but with Google I cannot find any information about:

Does anyone have any information on this, or experience of using in on a site with a lot of traffic? The terms of service just points you to Google's generic APIs Terms of Service.

In these terms it states:

API Limitations

Google may set limits on the number of API requests that you can make, at its sole discretion. You agree to such limitations and will not attempt to circumvent such limitations.

But this is very broad - there doesn't seem to be any indication of what the limitation is, other than it may be limited.

for a "business critical site" you can always use typekit from adobe
as for the option to host the fonts yourself... read again the paragraph you cite above:

You agree to such limitations and will not attempt to circumvent such limitations.
