Youtube API Rate Limiting #16

Youtube has instituted a 10000 query a day limit. is there some way to optimize the library to possibly spend these units slower? I recently tested this on a live stream, and used my quota in under an hour. Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

This is a super messy way but I modified ytchat.py and changed all instances of time.sleep(other_data['pollingIntervalMillis'] / 1000) to time.sleep(60.1)
It's not great at all but slows down the ammout of times the program polls YT for new chat messages and get's me under 10,000 calls per day now.
