Looks good, (only error because I need to switch DIA back to yahoo)

should purposely send requests only every 10 seconds to simulate a
human user? It cannot make it much slower.
I've been meaning to ask how many securities are you attempting to get
prices for?
Early on in this thread I called out the "500" responses. A "500"
typically gets returned from a web page if the site has an issue. When
Yahoo turned off the previous APIs F::Q was using, the HTTP response was
one of the "40?" that would be expected.
With no one else reporting the same issue my sense is that your errors
are the result of something on your end. I also use YahooJSON, and a
cron job fired every weekday at 13:30 Pacific time (16:30 Eastern)
updates about 20 securities in less than 15 seconds. My log from today's
(04/03/2024) run:

I would not be surprised if you have a sufficiently large number of
securities that Yahoo has mechanisms in place to detect and block/limit
further lookups.
