Calibre NOT returning Goodreads Metadata very often.

Greetings,

For the last couple of weeks Calibre has not been getting the metadata for Goodreads for the majority of books (it gets 1 for evey 10 it fails (could be more)). I end up having to manually enter the Goodreads ID (painful).

It has been working great. Has something changed with the plugin? I'm using Calibre 3.21 on Win 10.

If I drop only the title name into the search bar on Goodreads the title I am looking for generally always pops up, but Calibre can't seem to find it. I haven't changed the way I am doing anything.

Here is the error message I usually get. I notice it states "Plugin Goodreads failed". Looking forward to some answers. Thanks.

Code:
calibre, version 3.21.0
ERROR: No matches found: <p>Failed to find any books that match your search. Try making the search <b>less specific</b>. For example, use only the author's last name and a single distinctive word from the title.<p>To see the full log, click "Show details".
