using a command that uses the API counts towards the timer for the API limit. Consider changing it to only count successful uses of the API.

Team's Response

validating stock tickers also calls the API.

Most of our functions calls the API, and because of the API request limit, many of our functions will not work if there are too many calls to the API, we agree that this has made it difficult for users to use the app efficiently and has caused some of our functions to constantly display the API limit error especially when the function requires more than 5 calls made to the API to be ran. We have tried to include caveats (such as setting the bookmarks limit to 5) it will still require users to wait for awhile before being able to run any other command. We could only fix these issues if we pay for the premium price for fetching stock data from that API, which we have also stated in our user guide.
