10 calls per minute sounds like it shouldn't be an issue for sane api users. I don't see any detriments. |

Seems perfectly reasonable to me, wouldn't take but a moment to knock out a caching proxy for people that have 100 devices 🤣 |

@madpilot Myles, was this the subject of the banner announcement on the app tonight (Tue 15 Aug 2023) ? If so, I can help answer "Using time based control in the Tesla app may work" — there was a mystery export limit between 6:05pm and 6:31pm tonight, stopping me from discharging my 2x PowerWalls more than 5kW total. When I called Tesla support, they confirmed (but I don't want to take this as 100%) that both batteries were working and each was discharging 2.5kW. This barely covered the oven operation and left very little for the windfall prices happening at 6:00pm-6:30pm tonight. (I initially blamed the induction stove installation last week, which has to be on non-backed-up B phase, but it wasn't running tonight) Here is the email I asked them to send me, noting their phone conversation with me.

Hey all,
It's somewhat strange to be excited to introduce a feature that is literally going to limit your usage of our API.
But, we've now got so many users optimising their batteries that a downed API will have a material effect on our users.
You have all been REALLY well-behaved. I can count on one hand the number of times an errant user has taken down the API, and when I've reached out the issues have been fixed really quickly.
That said, it would be much better for everyone if good behaviour could be self-served, which is why we'll be introducing rate limits. Notice I said will. This is an announcement for feedback. Please read on...
The greatest hits
Please let me know whether those numbers feel workable.
Cheers!
