A local list owner ran into the same limit here, in a very similar
circumstance.  There is a global setting (in LOCAL SYSVARS) that determines
how much data each user (or list owner) can GET:
 
* MAXGETK   - Maximum number of kilobytes of data a user may obtain a day
*             via GET  requests. Note that  this applies only if  you use
*             the default-supplied LSV$GETQ user  exit, and may not apply
*             to all users if this exit has been modified.
*
* MAXGETK = 256
MAXGETK = 8192
 
We raised ours from 256K to 8M a while back.  You'll have to live within
the limit, or get the list maintainer at Temple to raise it for everyone
(or modify LSV$GETQ).
