<![CDATA[Limit API calls by deactivating the modul based on time?]]>Hey everyone,

I got the MM-TomTomCalculateRouteTraffic module and it is making calls with a TomTom API - now i would like to have really high amount of calls in the morning (about once every 30s) and non after a certain time.

Is it possible to config a module to be deactivated after a certain time? e.g. run it from 7-8am and then not?

One could add a couple small routines to support this, every module is different in what they need to do… stop timers, start timers, …
