See this page from Mike Williams' tutorial:

Check the response code.  If you are getting 620, you are going too
fast...

G_GEO_TOO_MANY_QUERIES (620) The given key has gone over the requests
limit in the 24 hour period or has submitted too many requests in too
short a period of time. If you're sending multiple requests in
parallel or in a tight loop, use a timer or pause in your code to make
sure you don't send the requests too quickly. (Since 2.55)
