SOLVED My-Commute flooded google api - 1.73/ sec while it was set to default 10 minutes!

[nakulbende]

Hello - Here is my config file with default poll freq. I got it working, but it kept blinking at refreshing at a very high rate. Not sure why that was happening. I checked the API console, and was thankful for it. The module had posted 18724 queries in a couple of minutes! That is $139 worth of queries! Please help me with debugging this? I am using a RPi3, And following is my config file. I was checking the MM interface through VNC stream, if that has something to do with it.

Thanks in advance!

Just the MyCommute section:

// Commute
		{
			module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
			position: 'bottom_right',
			header: 'XXXX',
			classes: 'default everyone',
			config: {
				apikey: 'XXXX ',
				origin: 'XXXX',
				startTime: '06:00',
				endTime: '18:00',
				hideDays: [0,6],
				pollFrequency: '10 * 60 * 1000',
				destinations: [
					{
						destination: 'XXXX',
						label: 'XXXX',
						mode: 'transit',
						color: '#82E5AA'
					},
					{
						destination: 'XXXX',
						label: 'XXXX',
						mode: 'driving'
					},
					{
						destination: 'XXXX',
						label: 'XXXX',

				]

So, this got solved when I commented out the pollFrequency field. Not sure what is going on.

@nakulbende said in My-Commute flooded google api - 1.73/ sec while it was set to default 10 minutes!:

pollFrequency: ‘10 * 60 * 1000’,

u need to take the quotes off, the value needs to be a number, with the quotes its a string

@sdetweil - thanks again! o my!
