• 1 second - Ultra real-time (not recommended for rate limits)
• 5 seconds - Real-time tracking
• 15 seconds - Balanced updates
• 30 seconds - Default, recommended
• 1 minute - Conservative, API-friendly

CoinGecko free API limits:

• 10-50 requests/minute
• Recommended: 30s+ update frequency

• Cause: CORS policy or network issue
• Solution: Use local server (not file:// protocol)

• Cause: Too many API requests
• Solution: Increase update frequency to 1 minute

• Cause: Electron configuration
• Solution: Add transparent: true in BrowserWindow options
