Googlemaps API OVER_QUERY_LIMIT with no API Key

I'm working on an app that makes use of the googlemaps API. I'm not using any API key as I'm performing requests like http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=Brooklyn&destination=Queens&sensor=false&departure_time=1343641500&mode=transit (shown in one of the Google examples). Unfortunately, lately it keeps giving the following error: 

{
    "error_message": "You have exceeded your daily request quota for this API.",
    "routes": [],
    "status": "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"
}

Even by adding a key I create as a parameter to the GET request (i.e., &key=blahblah), the result is always the same. Does this mean my I.P. is blocked by Google?

What can I do to get it back to work?

Thanks

When you use the key it means that that the limit for the account where the key has been created for has been reached.

When you don't use a key it means that the limit for the IP of your server has been reached.

What you can do: wait until tomorrow or request the service from clientside
