Weather widget stops updating after some time #65

Hello, first of all thanks for making this weather widget! I first installed it in November and it was working fine for 3 or 4 weeks until it stopped updating. I did not change any of the settings, but since I am on a rolling release distro (Manjaro), the software might have changed. My weather widget is version 1.6.10, plasma 5.11.5.

What I tried myself to fix it:

The problem is always the same: it always works for some hours right after installing it (includes updating), but then for some reason it stops updating completely.

Also: once it stopped working and I decide to remove/uninstall it, I can’t fix it by reinstalling it right away. I have to wait some hours or a day until I can get it working again.

Maybe you have any idea what I could try or what the possible cause is?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Actually I don't have to uninstall it to get it working again, I just have to remove it from the tray. Then I can add it again after some hours and it works.

Edit2: It looks like the meteogram keeps updating as long as there is a network connection. Once the network connection is lost the meteogram will display 'offline mode' and it won't come back later if the network connection is re-established. https://i.imgur.com/XQzVI8H.png
