How much electricity is it per click? The sad case of the smart meter and dumb limit

Today we were having a discussion about our power usage. Our hydro co offers an online viewing and some smart meter real-ish time data (yesterdays data by hour).

So I clicked today. then yesterday. When I got to 5 days ago, I got this. My excessive use (5 clicks!). I am over their terms of usage (not TOU as in Time-Of-Use, which is all i can find on their site on the topic). Boo, how am i supposed to understand the details? If only there were other products to measure electricity… Like eyedro you ask?

Anyone care to chip in on what ‘normal’ usage would be if 5 page load of a day is excessive?

How many API calls is excessive?

    At one point in time, it looked like the http parameters were very interesting… you might want to look into it while wearing your black hat.
