This happens even if I am logged into my Goodreads account at the time. Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know a solution? I rely on this a lot. Thanks.

Edit: Looking at the API Terms & Conditions, it says they allow a maximum of 1 request a second. Anyway I could limit it to this?
Yes, it is probably from doing to many queries. But, the plugin doesn't use the API, so it isn't breaking that condition. It scrapes the pages. I'm pretty sure there is a limit to how many times you can do this. Calibre does control the queries so that it doesn't do to many. I think you would have to do a very batch of downloads in one go to hit the limits.
