Investigate Effectiveness of Custom Update Interval in Preventing Potential Rate Limiting

[SanderBlom]

Context:

The BIR Waste Watch integration for Home Assistant already includes an option for setting a custom update interval. However, I'm uncertain if this feature is effectively reducing the number of requests to bir.no's server.

Concern:

Is the custom interval actually working as intended to prevent frequent polling, which could trigger rate-limiting or blocks from bir.no?

Questions to Explore:

• Does setting a custom interval effectively change the polling frequency?
• If so, does this alleviate any potential issues with rate limiting?
• If not, what could be the underlying reason for the custom interval not being effective?

Next Steps:

• Verify whether the custom interval setting is applied as expected.
• Look into the Home Assistant logs for any inconsistencies or errors regarding the update frequency.

Any insights or suggestions on how to investigate or fix this are welcome.

Closing this since choosing the custom interval has been removed. Ideally this update should only run a few minutes after midnight the day after your garbage has been picked up (then your next date will be available)
