exceeding maximum number of tries

Describe the bug I have a simple script that runs once a week for to collect citation counts. It has always worked, until last night, when it started failing with the error detailed below. I have tried several times over several hours on multiple machines.

To Reproduce

I have two machines. The following code fails with different errors on the different machines.

from scholarly import scholarly
query = scholarly.search_author('james watson')
author = scholarly.fill(next(query), ['publications'])

Error on machine 1 (ubuntu, python 3.9, scholarly 1.7.5):

Traceback (most recent call last):

Expected behavior I expected the code to succeed without error, like it used to.
