-**Google Scholar (or some other site) just locked me out, what happened?**
+See [[kb:site_access_limits|Site Access Limits]].
-Particularly zealous Zotero users will occasionally push the limits of what Google Scholar, or any other Zotero compatible databases, wants an individual to access in a given period of time. This tends to happen if one tries to import 50-100 items from Google Scholar either all at once or in rapid succession.
-**But this happened to me when I was using Zotero's retrieve PDF metadata function?**
-Zotero's [[/support/retrieve PDF metadata|retrieve PDF metadata]] function also uses Google Scholar, so if you want to auto detect metadata for several dozen PDFs try to space it out a little bit.
-**How do I get un-locked out?**
-In general, getting locked out only lasts a few hours.
-**This may be happening to you if Google tells says:**
