Home Assistant integration -- getting 429s even though I'm only polling my device every 15 minutes

Hello, I've built this Home Assistant integration:  BeerDiet/firewalla-home-assistant: A Home Assistant integration for Firewalla.

The issue I am running into is that after about a day, I'm getting http_429 errors and they never go away, even after some aggressive backoff techniques.  It seems that for each API key, there is basically a finite, not time-based, amount of calls that can be made.  I ended up having to get another API that lasts about a day.

Can we please have this adjusted so that the API keys is throttling is less aggressive?  I'd really like to continue using this!  Thank you!

  May I know which API's are you using? (Is the polling devices the only one?)

  There are rate limits in the system to protect and ensure the system doesn't discriminate; we rarely see them get triggered;
