In some of my AudioBookShelf library, I have hundreds of authors. When I attempt to do an author match using Authors → Match All Authors, I get a match on some authors, but errors on others, including well-known authors. A rescan results in some of those missed authors being matched up. When I review the servers logs, I see the following:

This tells me that AudioBookShelf is sending too many requests to api.audnex.us within a short period of time and needs to slow down and be rate limited to maybe one request every .25 to .5 seconds. Having author's being matched up is not a time-critical function, and waiting several minutes for the matching to complete should not be an unexpected condition. It may warrant a warning message when the administrator clicks on the Match All Authors that it may take some time to complete.
