Constantly getting IP blocked in MB Picard, but not on the MB website

MusicBrainz Picard
1

MB Picard constantly goes “connection interrupted” or “operation cancelled” in the error log and as soon I change IP it works again only to fail again a few albums later.

So far I have burnt through 3 VPS IPs and my current home ISP assigned IP and barely processed 10 albums.

My Home IP is a starlink assigned one so I could imagine I am pool-sharing it with others, but my VPS is private, only me uses that IP (custom WireGuard VPS).

What can be done? It renders the application unusable.

Note: the website itself remains accessible through all that.

Interesting, so your IP wasn’t blocked for sure.

Can you share Picard debug log? See General Troubleshooting — MusicBrainz Picard v3.0 documentation

Yeah, was gathering that right after my post, and guess what - same as in my older post:

The issue immediately went away as soon as I started observing the logs.

I tried several more times (also batching all albums at once, ca 10) and zero issues.
I guess, case closed, but… it feels weird
