rate limits breached at Coingecko

[cryptofitzle]

pyth-observer_main on ny5t-rwdbel3 is currently not running (see also) - restarting results in an immediate crash. Log file suggests that a rate limit is breached: "'error_code': 429, 'error_message': "You've exceeded the Rate Limit. Please visit https://www.coingecko.com/en/api/pricing to subscribe to our API plans for higher rate limits.""
A free of charge API Data plan is available, but has a rate limit of 50 requests/minute, higher rate limit plans are available, but rather expensive. -> So either buy a better plan or change requests/minute.
a patch is written already, see: https://github.com/pyth-network/pyth-observer/pull/33/files

is this running the latest version?

the latest commit throttles the request to once per minute since CoinGecko updates the price every 1-10 minutes (more info here: https://github.com/pyth-network/pyth-observer/blob/main/pyth_observer/coingecko.py#L27-L30)

however, we should catch the exception and not letting it crash the program if CojnGecko is down, I've replied to the PR here: #33 (comment)
