When running my script EVERY API call counts as two, at least as far as Geni reports back to me. Here is a piece of a debug log. Notice the right column. Any ideas?

PS It's really strange that we have no way to know at what time a frame BEGINS.

ALL of the API calls go through a wrapper class, so I know I'm not missing any.

I stress-tested my test app and it shows this, - i.e. just as it should behave

RateLimit=40, RateWindow=10, RateRemaining=2, Runtime=16, TotalRuntime=1808
RateLimit=40, RateWindow=10, RateRemaining=1, Runtime=15, TotalRuntime=1823
RateLimit=40, RateWindow=10, RateRemaining=0, Runtime=15, TotalRuntime=1838
ApiException: Rate limit exceeded. - Retry in 5 seconds

Yes, I presume it works for others. I was wondering why MINE is different. Does it count "get headers" as an API call? I would be surprised.

Also your rate is at 40? I would love that.
