Has Google lowered the email limits for Google Apps Script?

Solution

Eric Koleda of the Apps Script team announced this change on Jan 28, 2014.

We've just reduced the quota on the number of emails you can send per-day with Apps Script.

Consumer and non-paid Google Apps users are now limited to 100 email recipients per day, which is reflected on the Apps Script dashboard.

Problem

Popular opinion seems to be that a Google Apps Script can send up to 500 e-mails per day. See, for example, What is the email limit on Google Apps Script?. I checked the official quotas at `script.google.com/dashboard` and it says "Email Recipients: 100/day". Is that new, or am I looking at the wrong information? A support article from November 2013 says "100/day" and an archived version says it was "500/day" in October 2013. Every two or three weeks, we use a "mail merge" type of script to send personalized e-mail to 50-300 recipients. I'm quite sure we've sent to more than 100 in one day since November. Yesterday, we received a `Service invoked too many times for one day: email` error after 100 emails. So is this a recent change or is there another reason for the error?
