When load becomes a problem on the site, I run some scripts that IP-blacklist apparent bot traffic. It seems that some users of the extension are setting very low polling intervals, which would definitely put them over the abuse threshold. It'd be really good if the extension didn't allow setting a polling interval lower than 30s (or at least clamped the value to 30s if it's set to a value lower than that).
