[MBS-5481] Requests exceeding a maximum rate, but doing almost no request.

I started receiving this message when trying to access MusicBrainz from my webserver.
"Sorry, but your requests are exceeding the allowable rate limit (297.6, limit is 45.0 per 20 seconds)."

I don't know if I've had a deadlock in my program using MusicBrainz, but normally, I'm caching results and I'm not doing a lot of request on MusicBrainz. The problem is it shows 300 per 20 seconds, which is impossible.

What is happening here? I'm not heavily using MusicBrainz, but knowing none of my pages can access MusicBrainz to correct some music metadata is worrying me a lot.

Thanks,
Leon Pelletier

The way our rate limiting works is described on http://musicbrainz.org/doc/XML_Web_Service/Rate_Limiting

There isn't enough information here to tell you why exactly you're hitting the rate limit nor is this the place to ask for help. Please ask on IRC, the mailing lists or the forums if the information on that page isn't enough to help you find the reason.
