Increase in percentage of FALSE responses for HERE REST API reverse geocoder

I have a CGI PHP 5.4 process that runs continuously on Ubuntu server 12.04. I use free HERE maps REST API for reverse geocoding: $myresult=file_get_contents('http://reverse.geocoder.cit.api.here.com/6.2/reversegeocode.json?prox='.$latitude.','.$longitude.',100&mode=retrieveAddresses&maxresults=1&gen=6&app_id=MyAppIdGoesHere&app_code=MyAppCodeGoesHere');

The amount of FALSE responses I am receiving has increased significantly in the past 2 days. Prior to yesterday, FALSE responses average less than 1%. This is true for the data I reviewed going back 6 weeks. Yesterday and today, FALSE responses are occurring for approximately 10% of requests.

I have confirmed the coordinates being submitted are valid - I have manually submitted a portion of them via Chrome browser and received normal address information in the response.

I understand for free use of the HERE API's the maximum requests are 100,000 per month. I am not exceeding or approaching this limit.

Is there a frequency limitation on requests? Is there perhaps a timeout happening on the HERE server?

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

You are using CIT, the test environment: reverse.geocoder.cit.api.here.com

Use production and you should be fine. Do do so simply remove "cit" from the URL, i.e. http://reverse.geocoder.api.here.com/
