This is probably the network detection code kicking in. After three failed attempts, three seconds apart (if I recall it correctly) the code will not do any further attempts to get the data
I know, but I thought William is talking about successfully fetched METAR where the sky condition was omitted (CLR, SKC, NSC, CAVOK, cloud groups, etc), like it was in his KABE example. In this case, if no clouds are in the message, then there shouldn't be any clouds. (Only CAVOK generates a fantasy layer. Having none is most likely wrong, because one would have used CLR then. Same with NSC, that I'll let create a high FEW layer or something.)
Ok, I didn't understand that part correctly then. But it's still good to know how this code works after all.
