Too much requests with append_to_response

Hi,
I have one script, which is downloading movie info, one by one. When it downloads movie, the script check persons in casts and crew if is the person missing in local db, then it download the person from TMDb. I have timer which is checking the requests and everything was ok I have 29 000 from 40 000 movie info’s (Only 29 000 were available other 11 000 was requested with null answer.) and 170 000 persons. Half of it was downloaded yesterday so why I'm having in API stats 600 000 requests for today which are not allowed? ((30 request for 10 secs) * 6 * 60 * 24 = 259 200 req per day) Can it be because of using append_to_response?
Sorry for my English and I believe that you will understand this question.
Thanks for help

Append to response has no bearing on our request rate limiting.
When you say "which are not allowed" what do you mean? Are you getting an actual error?

No I was just counting, when I can use only 30 request per 10 secs. And Thanks for answer i have to monitor my code better.
