Answers: <p>Organizations who offer an API usually have in place a mechanism to limit your use. For example, they will offer tiers of service at different prices, like:</p>

  * Free (for up to 100 requests a day)
  * Business (up to 1,000 requests a day)
  * Enterprise (unlimited, usually "call us for pricing")
  
  When someone creates multiple accounts, it can look like you are trying to bypass the limits, for example by attempting to use ten free accounts to get 1,000 requests a day.
  
  If you use more requests than you pay for, you will normally get an HTTP 409 response, which means "too many requests". When you create several accounts, you are likely to find they get locked.
