The logs are showing:

A little bit of hacking was able to reproduce it locally - the response from bitly is:

{ "data": [ ], "status_code": 403, "status_txt": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED" }

I've checked in a logging change so the bitly response is logged when this happens, but that obviously doesn't help resolve it.

I'll look into this, we have a contact at bit.ly and they also have instructions for getting additional access.

We got our API rate cap increased for now and with the better logging (i'm getting this from shane :)) we should be able to track down any errors that might be on our part.
