Hi Bruce,
I wasn't aware of the IP tracking and that may be the explanation -
without my knowledge, somebody else in my household was playing around
with a Node-RED flow that was pulling a request from Alphavantage each
minute with a third API key :-) We've now tuned that flow back to once
every 4 hours (which is totally adequate for our use case)
I'll have to give it another try tomorrow (the flow has been up and
running overnight) and see if all is back to normal.
I'm super thankful for your help & mentioning the below!!!
B.

The interesting part is that the original API key I have was used
perhaps 15 times today, the second API key mentioned above wasn't
used today at all... And I have no automation nor CRON/scheduled
tasks anywhere that use either API...
Bernard,
Are you connecting from home, work, or through something like NordVPN?
I found out while doing a PoC of using a different key for each
request to avoid needing to throttle requests (I stumbled onto the
fact that almost any random string will work as an API key) that their
limitation is also likely based on source IP. After 5 requests using 5
different generated random API keys, the 6th request with a different
API within a minute will get the message about the 5 per minute
limitation.
If you are on a network where multiple people happen to be using
AlphaVantage, this could be the cause of the AlphaVantage limit message.
That said, please open an issue at
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues. I identified
where the AlphaVantage module may not be catching this particular
failure, since I suspected it may be that you have surpassed a
daily/monthly limit and was looking into it.
Thank you.
Bruce.
