Based on the pricing page, Coingecko changed their API rates to 10 requests/minute. It is also stated that:

Fluctuates based on traffic conditions. The Public API is optimised for testing uses and may not be optimal for production environment.

We may want to look into CoinMarketCap: https://pro.coinmarketcap.com/features/

Coingecko also has a monthly paid plan which may work for you guys - https://www.coingecko.com/en/api/pricing

We could also build a small price service that queries the Coingecko API once every minute. All our apps could connect to this service. This way we won't suffer from API rate limits.
