Google API polling frequency recommendation

[skangas]

I'm currently running gmi sync automatically every 5 minutes, but I don't know if it is allowed to poll the Google API that often. I tried to look for documentation here, and searching the Google documentation, but I came up short. Perhaps my search-fu is too weak. So:

• Do we know anything about this?
• If yes, should best practices perhaps be documented under "Caveats" in README.md?

Thanks!

You should be able to poll often, gmi only checks historyid. I usually have it at one minute.
