As the error message implies, the limitation is on the server. Most SSH
servers limit the number of failed authentication requests a single
session may make. Depending on details of both the client and server
implementations, even testing key authorization may count as a "failure,"
thus effectively limiting the number of keys you can try.
You didn't say anything about what SSH software you're using...
