Frequency of update() calls #179

I couldn't find anything in the docs about this, so I hope it's okay to have created an issue to ask the question.

I want to get an update to the plugConnectionStatus as soon as possible after plugging or unpluggging the car. My current understanding is that, to get an event, I need to call update(). Is there a maximum frequency of calling this that is considered okay by VW (and won't get my account blocked)?
