Has Amazon set up a permanent block for Calibre metadata searches?
Today I tried to get metadata for a book. And while I got data from Fantastic Fiction I got nothing from Amazon. Which is a bit unusual.
When I check the log it said:

calibre.ebooks.metadata.sources.amazon.CaptchaErro r: Amazon returned a CAPTCHA page, probably because you downloaded too many books. Wait for some time and try again.

Here is the problem. It has been
more than 12 hours since I tried to get metadata. I got metadata for about 12 books yesterday. noticed the last couple had no Amazon, checked and saw the same message. So stopped.
Normally I just wait an hour or so and try again, but last night I just went to bed to try again today. But its 12 hours later now and I still have a captcha?
Am I just on a long time out now? or what?
