I was asking a Japanese person for some help and noticed that I kept saying
`ありがとうございます` over and over as they helped me more. Culturally, is it OK to
keep saying it multiple times in Japanese? Would it be better to switch to
another word to express my gratefulness?

I'm not trying to be English-centric, but I feel like continuously thanking
someone might be a little odd or distant in English. I don't feel exactly the
same way about it in Japanese, but I want to know what the Japanese
perspective is on this.

question
set-phrases politeness culture
Is it OK to keep saying ありがとう
I guess It's ok.  
After asking many questions, I keep saying ありがとうございます but I usually add
何度もすみません to convey that I know I am asking a lot and I am sorry for this.
