Increasing Go-routines & Memory

This is my func -

func GetFollowersIds(userID, cursorStr, accessToken, accessTokenSecret string) (anaconda.Cursor, error) {
    api := anaconda.NewTwitterApi(accessToken, accessTokenSecret)
    api.ReturnRateLimitError(true)
    defer api.Close()
    if cursorStr == "" {
        cursorStr = "-1"
    }
    v := url.Values{}
    v.Set("user_id", userID)
    v.Set("cursor", cursorStr)
    result, err := api.GetFollowersIds(v)
    if err != nil {
        return result, err
    }
    return result, nil
}

This method gets called for many users in my long running application/service. I have observed that the no. of go-routines & memory increases continuously, I have confirmed this through multiple tools.

And all these boils down to the above method. I introduced pprof & took output for /debug/pprof/goroutine In the output, it shows there are more than 300 instances of go-routines regarding throttledQuery Full stack trace is as follows -

I want to know if I am using anaconda correctly? Do I have to handle or set throttledQuery value? How does throttledQuery works in anaconda? Insights?
