Tesla Fleet: how to reduce API usage

Running HA Core 2025.1.3.

I’ve installed the latest Tesla Fleet integration for a few days and found that its API usage approaches $0.40 per day. That brings it over the $10/month baseline usage. I have one EV and 3 Powerwalls.

Is there a way to reduce the number of API calls? The doc says the integration class is “Cloud Polling”, so is there a way to configure the poll frequency?

Thanks for your help!

Hi wwho,

Thanks for the info! It works great!

@wwho Which of all these entities are you polling by automation? I am at the same problem that some day the costs go to 0,50€ per day.

Ok dumb question. What did you select as the target for the Home Assistant Core Integration: Update entity? The only options I get are specific entities. If you just pick a random entity that is tied to a Tesla Fleet device (i.e. my car), will it then pull an update for all of the entities in one go?
