`-c 1` interestingly leads to different error than `-c 5` #275

Perhaps just a curiosity, but it is a bit unintuitive 

betterbib sync references.bib --in-place -c 1
Warning: Don't know how to parse name `Shoemaker, Benjamin A and Thiessen, Paul A and Yu, Bo
Syncing... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   0% -:--:--
Warning: Not Found! (404)
Try again later.

gives a different error than 

betterbib sync references.bib --in-place
Warning: Don't know how to parse name `Shoemaker, Benjamin A and Thiessen, Paul A and Yu, Bo
Syncing... ━━╸━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   7% -:--:--
Warning: Too Many Requests! (429)

almost suggesting that either c=1 is not allowed or a different route is queried.

in general, I would also expect a library to handle the load balancing for me and to not ask me to try again later. (Again, perhaps this happens already internally but at least the errors suggest this does not happen)

This is definitely a bug! I also saw that in the weekend when testing. Debugging now.

Fixed in 7.1.3.
