Change PVOutput update interval from 5 min to 10 min

For my solar panels in Domoticz I get the input from PVOutput. Since yesterday I get "Error: PVOutput (Input): Error login!" 6 times every 5 minutes in an hour starting at HH:30. The login attempts by Domoticz from HH:00 to HH:25 are successful however.
The PVOutput forum says:
As from december 12th 2018 the Get Statistics API service will now have the following rate limits:
6 per hour for regular accounts
30 per hour for donation accounts

Since I have a regular account I get error messages. The solution is to have Domoticz check PVOutput every 10 minutes instead of every 5 minutes so I don't get these errors anymore.

New comment on the PVOutput forum: they set the rate limit back to what is was:

"The rate limit has been increased to 12 and 60 per hour for regular and donation accounts respectively.
Get Statistics results for the same query are now cached for 24hrs and will result in the same statistic for 24 hrs. Making a request every 5-minutes is now redundant."

Only now in domoticz the Today count and the total count are not updated anymore. This has to do with "Get Statistics results for the same query are now cached for 24hrs and will result in the same statistic for 24 hrs" .

So now the problem is worse then before
