[algolia-pro] Much setSettings API calls

[Sogl]

Second day of installing Algolia Pro. No index created, Production mode is disabled. But almost 98% of API calls are /1/indexes/pages-ru-grav/settings:

Request body is the same (default options):

{
  "searchableAttributes": [
    "title",
    "subtitle",
    "url",
    "taxonomy",
    "headers.h1",
    "headers.h2",
    "headers.h3",
    "headers.h4",
    "content"
  ],
  "attributeForDistinct": "url",
  "distinct": true,
  "attributesToSnippet": [
    "summary:50",
    "content:50"
  ],
  "snippetEllipsisText": "…"
}

Example of Response body:

{
  "updatedAt": "2023-02-02T21:55:53.976Z",
  "taskID": 24899928001
}

As I understand, every time it calls this method: https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/api-methods/set-settings/

After creating the full index (Production mode enabled), I already have 453 search requests:

Quite a lot, considering that the free plan is given for 10,000 operations and I only configure the plugin on the localhost.

You most likely have selected only that specific index. Look at the top of that page, you should see a dropdown for your App and next to it a dropdown for the indices.

You can click on "See All" to see how the indexes are doing and how many records have been created. Keep in mind that from my experience those values are not real-time but slightly delayed. Not talking about days but minutes.

I have only one index:

What I found using Xdebug about setSettings call and default pages index. I counted the number of stops on the breakpoint in SearchIndex.php line 105 and compared it with Search API Logs Algolia tab:

• Every(!) page load creates 1 call
• Sometimes the call happens regardless of my actions. Maybe it's a warm connection or something else.
• Every CLI query creates 2 calls (+1 query call too)
• Every page update (I was adding a dot) creates 3 calls (+2 batch, +1 getSettings, +1 query calls too)

• Every page create (with 3 words of text) creates 3 calls (+1 batch, +1 getSettings, +1 query calls too)

• Every page delete (previously added) creates 3 calls (+1 getSettings, +1 query calls too)

• Re-indexing of 131 items creates only 1 call
• Re-indexing of 131 items after index delete creates 1 call (+2 batch calls too)

@w00fz Is this normal behavior? Can we reduce number of calls?

I alone have created more than 1100 queries during development and testing from February 1 to the current day.
