The request failed: Google returned a response with code 429 in pytrends library

Question

I am trying to fetch Google trends data from the pytrends library and since the last two weeks, I keep getting this same error : The request failed: Google returned a response with code 429. I went through the stackoverflow discussions for this same error, but the solutions suggested like update the pytrends library didn't work. I also tried giving proxies but that also didn't work. Has Google recently changed it's rate limit policy? Or is there any other way to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
