My suggestion would be to look into a workaround inside of GA.

Eg: Create a new suite within GA (UA-XXXXX-2), and use the new ID for a subset of your page views. Look into how your page views are happening across your site and plan on distributing the analytics to fall under 10M. For instance, use your main ID for landing, top and trending pages and a second one for the rest of the site. If you are near or over 20M views you might want to consider a third or forth ID.

Good luck!

Edit: On a second thought, one of our sites reports over 10M a month and we never run into issues. GA doesn't process more than a small percentage of visits for the reporting, so your issue might not be related to the 10M cap.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I see a few issues with this approach: 1. You can't track the number of unique visitors anymore 2. I will lose the data history I have now with GA. I am actually not sure that it is incorrect, I just am suspect at this point and need validation. If it is indeed correct then I don't want a break in the data.

But, something to think about, so thanks.
