Picard is extremely slow on larger amount of songs

Very long too on a large volume and a lot of "API server replied: Too Many Requests "
Maybe when starting with Picard : all your tracks send , very long so you close the app but the API quota is overdue, and so the next time it’s frozen.
Don’t know if you can include the API limit ?

Can you provide a debug log (see https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/troubleshooting/) ?
I wonder which server answers "API server replied: Too Many Requests ".
Picard is actually enforcing proper rate limits (which is the reason it is slow on huge set, it’s not allowed to flood web services).
Do you happen to have any plugin enabled?

The troubleshooting is with the apiseeds Lyrics plugin :

E: XXXXXXXXXXXX webservice._handle_reply:407: Network request error for https://orion.apiseeds.com:443/api/music/lyric/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: Error transferring https://orion.apiseeds.com:443/api/music/lyric/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX- server replied: Too Many Requests (QT code 299, HTTP code 429)

It looks like the apiseed addon is sending a request on every refresh (ever when lyrics exist).
Good to have an uptodate tag but not for the quota.
