API key not allowed when using Weather service

I built a simple Node.js app that worked with the Weather service. It worked fine for a while, but about 24 hours ago started returning this error:

{"metadata":{"version":"1","transaction_id":"1:1362317376","status_code":401},"success":false,"errors":[{"error":{"code":"AGW-0210","message":"Api not allowed for this api key."}}]}

I've double checked my authentication information and it is correct.

I found a workaround for me, just delete the old service and create a new one. This works fine for me.

The 401 response indicates authentication failed. But it may also have been the service unavailable or a plan limit reached. Are you still seeing this problem? Is it intermittent? or continuously failing?

There is a brief explanation of the throttling of the API when it hits the limits of the plan that you selected. See here, in the bottom paragraph of the first section.

You can check the status of the Bluemix platform here.
