Asking for 5 professional references

Hello! First time posting here but I wanted to see if I’m being dramatic. I interviewed for a job back in January. I unfortunately did not receive an offer for said job. Fast forward to now, the same company calls me offering me a part time, temporary, remote position. I said yes as I’m in the position to take something like that and it will get me good experience for my field. Now they are asking for 5 professional references with 2 being previous managers. Is this too much of an ask for a job like this? I feel like it’s extremely excessive for a job I’ll be working 10-15 hours a week and that they called me up and offered. Not sure if I’m going to move forward, but I just wanted to get some outside opinions. Any advice is helpful 🙂 thank you!
