Energy Stats app Integration with Solcast

Hello,

has anyone else found that the solcast daily limit of 10 API calls seems to get used up much quicker after Fox changed their API? I looked at the solar forecast one yesterday from Energy Stats, when I looked at it again today (more than 24 hours later) I get the "You have exceeded your free daily limit". Very frustrating :(

Yes the new limits have impacted a few people. Recommended you pay for a paid account now with better API limits.

I suspect that the stats from Solcast do not change very often during the day, so rather than read then every time the user looks at the Summary tab, couldn't the data be retained in the App, and only refreshed from Solcast if it is more than (for example) 2 hours old?
