New test version 1.7.0:
- Added several changes to optimize API usage.
In addition to the rate limit, Tesla changed the reported car state. Instead of asleep/offline/online state, only offline/online is reported now. As result, the app requestes car data also for offline state (which was useful before because offline state was only used for missing LTE reception).
Now, the app does not request car data during offline state. This prevents a lot of API requests. Based on the daily car usage, you can lower the online interval. Perhaps it will work with 1min interval because you won’t use the car for 1/5 of the day.
The car device is showing “rate limit” as state in case the car is online but Tesla is blocking car access.
The car settings page is showing some details like time until rate limit is reset.
In addition you can check insights for API usage counter.
