When one has a lot of keys in ~/.ssh directory, the ssh command will try all of them before the one specified on the command line, and this may cause the remote ssh server to reject the connection due to too many failed authentication attempts.
Fix by adding -o IdentitiesOnly=yes, which makes the ssh client consider only the keys specified on the command line.
