MySpeed App crashes repeatedly after hitting speedtest.net rate limit

[cloudbr34k84]

When MySpeed is installed using the default setup, it executes speed tests every minute via a cron job. After approximately 30–40 tests, the speedtest.net API begins rejecting requests with:
Error: Too many requests. Please try again later This causes the Node.js process to exit with a failure status, triggering a restart via systemd. Once this loop begins, it continues until systemd eventually gives up and marks the service as failed.

Install MySpeed using the provided installer script.
Let it run for ~30 minutes (default interval is 1 min).
Observe the logs (journalctl -u myspeed.service) showing repeated failures with Too many requests

And what should we do about it? This is no script issue from our side, report this issue to the creator of MySpeed.

Speedtest every minute is absoulutely way too quick of an interval!
This will load up you internet and get you blocked, try lowering to something like all 30min/hour.

Why would you want minutely speedtests?

I was only supposed to log for a few mins to get the 10 speed tests done with but I forgot about it. It shouldn't be an option as well, but otherwise I would have just done every 6 hours
