Oh, how many times I have seen this message..... must be in the thousands (I used to do SEO work back in the day.) It usually results from somebody being on a network where some kind of bot is running some kind of automatic query system, to, for example, find google SERP rankings of different web pages for a given search, or something similar. It works on a timer, and is tied to IP address, so you can just wait, or try from a different network, or through a proxy. If you know what system on your network is slamming google with requests, and you have some control over it, you can throttle it down, and/or encourage them to launder through multiple source IP addresses (via proxies)....
