Beaconcha.in blocks requests #6

I logged in today and requests to beaconcha.in are being blocked by cloudflare with a message " beaconcha.in needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding."

This is probably more of an issue with beaconcha.in but I just wonder if theres anything that can be done on the exporter to prevent this? If it's just sending too much data too fast and triggering some firewall rule, it might help if we could configure the delay to send export data less frequently.

You can reduce the frequency of sending data by increasing the interval, which can be configured by providing the following CLI flag --interval 5m, this would then only sent data every 5 minutes. See Duration for different time formats that can be used.
