Adjust request poll intervall for API rate limiting

[twiebe]

Currently the synchronous API client will poll asynchronous requests every 0.5s. This makes hitting the API rate limit quite likely once you introduce concurrency.

For the API client to not feel sluggish, the poll intervall likely shouldn't simply be increased to a few seconds. It could be dynamically increased to a max and/or be request type-dependent.

Is there a way to implement web sockets in the back-end? This would make polling unnecessary. And feel much more native. The client would then just subscribe to the request_uuid and if something changes in the back-end the client is notified.

Absolutely. Good point. Nothing concrete planned on that front though so polling it is until then.
