I seem to have reached AUR limit o_O ? (Unable to get info for AUR)

Hi !

For the last few days, I haven't been enabled to update AUR repositories, while the pacman core, extra and community repositories are still available.
Trizen give me this message :

:: Unable to get info for AUR packages...

So I tried to install my good ol' Yaourt and he told kind of the same thing :

The URL https://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?v=5&type=info&arg[]=apulse&arg[]=aview&arg[]=bibata-cursor-theme&arg[]=boostnote&arg[]=capitaine-cursors&arg[]=ckb-next&arg[]=cli-visualizer&arg[]=font-manager&arg[]=gksu&arg[]=i3lock-color-git&arg[]=insomnia&arg[]=libgksu&arg[]=ly-git&arg[]=mpd-git&arg[]=mycli&arg[]=nautilus-ext-git&arg[]=ninvaders&arg[]=otf-san-francisco&arg[]=package-query&arg[]=polybar&arg[]=postman&arg[]=python-backports.csv&arg[]=python-cli_helpers&arg[]=python-pymysql&arg[]=spotify&arg[]=sublime-text-dev&arg[]=tomb-git&arg[]=trizen&arg[]=ttf-dejavu-sans-mono-powerline-git&arg[]=ttf-font-awesome-4&arg[]=ttf-font-logos&arg[]=ttf-material-design-icons&arg[]=ttf-twemoji-color&arg[]=visual-studio-code-bin&arg[]=vtop&arg[]=yaourt returned error : 429
 Foreign packages: | 36 / 36
No database errors have been found!

And when I've trying to reach the URL form my sweet qutebrowser, I get :

{"version":5,"type":"error","resultcount":0,"results":[],"error":"Rate limit reached"}

So I guess I've reach the AUR limit, but I really don't know how cause I don't have any exotic script that could cause that
Does anyone have an idea off how I could get out of this situation ?

Thanks for reading

Oh wait ! I think that it could be my i3 indicator that goes check AUR repository a bit to often. I'll make it check less often and see if it resolve my problem

Do you use cower in that indicator, and does it poll the AUR 500 times every 5 seconds? Yes, that is why we added rate limiting in the first place, because of update notifiers like this...

(cower enhances the problem by making a separate request for every single package, but running it every 5 seconds was a problem either way.)

Cower uses multiinfo now, of course if you run it in a while/true loop that doesn't matter much.

(This assumes that one can update cower while cower cannot access the information about an updated cower version, heh.)
