Update frequency

The app fetches new data once an hour. This interval is chosen because the free tier of APIStocks allows 5000 requests per month. Considering that we are showing 5 stocks, that's 1000 requests per stock per month, which is about once an hour. If you have a paid subscription and can afford more frequent updates, you can change the interval by modifying the TTL_SECONDS variable.
