<p>I'm using Moneydance 2021.1 (3069) and Quotes and Exchange Rates Updater v1030.</p>
<p>Of the four listed services for security prices, only alphavantage is working reliably for me. However, the downloader hits the alphavantage API with too many requests in a short amount of time, resulting in this message:</p>
<pre>
<code>alphavantage: getting history for SHW
Importing history from URL: https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY_ADJUSTED&symbol=SHW&apikey=********&datatype=csv&outputsize=compact

Import error: skipping invalid line: "Note": "Thank you for using Alpha Vantage! Our standard API call frequency is 5 calls per minute and 500 calls per day. Please visit https://www.alphavantage.co/premium/ if you would like to target a higher API call frequency."

<p>Obviously, upgrading to a premium alphavantage subscription is an option, but an expensive one. Since I don't need such urgent or timely data (once a day is plenty), how can the extension be "throttled" to not issue more than 5 API requests per minute?</p>
<p>Thank you for the continued work on such a great product!</p></div>Hot Karltag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/494012282021-09-23T07:07:13Z2021-09-23T07:07:13ZThrottling alphavantage feed<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>
