NOAA v3 using too many requests?

I don’t know. That is certainly possible and it would definitely account for issue in this topic. I use my key in both modules and as you can see I don’t have such a problem.

I’m not sharing a key as far as I know. My usage just skyrocketed which was surprising. I switched from dark sky to another provider & all is well. Tomorrow I’ll get a new key from darksky and see what happens. Just seemed weird to me

@motdog

Yeah, that’s a good idea. Let us know the result with the new key.

So the weather with weather underground hasn’t updated since yesterday. I looked at my stats and they were super high for yesterday. Seems the same as what happened before. Weird that random days trigger high requests.

Any thoughts? I’m going to switch back to darksky api to see what happens.

@motdog weather underground has been shutting down keys for over a year now. No new free keys are available. Time to switch to another weather solution.

@sdetweil Thanks for the heads up. Still curious about the spike in requests. Had that with darksky too which is why I switched to weather underground.

@motdog I had the same! Have you got a raspberry Pi? And is it locking up? I had this on mine it just kept dailing every second it was mad! Took off my Overclock that I had on the Pi and it’s working V well at the mo.

@motdog

I’m just curious (and I may have missed this) but have you changed the updateInterval: 30 * 60 * 1000, This is designed to constrain the module to 48 calls per day. Also, as a long shot, are you running more than one weather module using the same API key? I do.

motdog · Mar 15, 2019, 2:58 PM

@Mykle1 I have not changed the update interval Is that in the css? I only have the one module running. What seems weird is that it runs fine then all of the sudden spikes.

@dazza120 I am running a Pi 3B the Pi doesn’t lock up. Occasionally if I try to do something a bit funky with a gif in the eye candy module it has but as soon as I use a different gif I am ok.
