Are there any unusual messages in PVService.log? (upload a copy to this

The log file keeps filling up with Error: Forbidden 403: Exceeded 60 requests 
per hour.  It appears that it is continually trying to upload 
previous days data to PVoutput, even though they have been uploaded 
successfully before.

Please upload your settings.xml file with the issue. This answers many
questions I would otherwise need to ask.

I believe the problem relates to the Meter Tolerance setting of 2%

On my system I use 5% to avoid excessive recalculation. I believe that 2% is 
below the error factor under some circumstances. I believe that too small a 
tollerance can produce an oscillation around the mean value that always exceeds 
the 2% margin.

Try setting Meter Tollerance to 5

You can also reduce History Hours to 24 to limit the range of recalculation. 
You can always increase this value on a temporary basis if you need to do 
catch-up processing.

History Hours only needs to be set to something in excess of any sleep interval 
in use by PVBC. Do not go below 4 hours.

Thanks Dennis, the log file appears to have calmed down after setting the Meter 
Tolerance to 5%.
