				<title>still "hourly limit of 2000 credits..." after hours and days</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi there,

I´m using geonames service from a PHP website to automatically name images based on GPS coordinates (stored in image´s EXIF data). Basically this works fine... but unfortunally it worked just one time and never again since this. Every time I start a new query I get the message:

"the hourly limit of 2000 credits MYUSERNAME has been exceeded. Please throttle your requests or use the commercial service"

I´ve waited an hour, two hours, three hours... and so on. No change. Now I´ve waited the whole night (24h+) and still the same message. Even if I try to get data with a simple query via web browser, e.g. this one:

"http://api.geonames.org/extendedFindNearby?lat=57.30248&lng=6.35532&username=MYUSERNAME"

I get the same message.

I´m wondering if there is any other limitation but 2000 credits in one hour?
Any ideas?

thanks in advance...

				<description><![CDATA[ There are no other limits. Are you sure you are not using the demo user? It happens often with the demo user because a lot of people are just using the demo user. Another possibility is that you see a cached result page (by your browser for instance)

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Marc,

thanks for fast response. I´m definitely sure I´m not using the demo user but my own user ID.
As I said, the PHP script is running on a web server with (probably???) a static IP. May this cause the problem?
