📝 Description

Gitify is using an insane amount of api calls, causing me to hit my api usage every hour. Closing gitify solves the issue. Just opening Gitify uses up over a hundred api calls. (104 in my most recent test)

🪜 Steps To Reproduce

run

        -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
        -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" \
        /rate_limit

to check your usage.

Wait a minute, run again and your usage will be several hundred api calls higher.

Gitify Version

We fetch notifications every minute, but your issue may be something else. Can you try disabling GitHub-like state colors? That is a potential high usage setting 😬

[Tyler Thrailkill]

I turned github like state colors off and it seems to have reduced the usage. I went from 24 to 128 on startup, then disabled the colors, but then 1 minute later the usage jumped to 230, but finally seems to have slowed down. Setting might have taken a minute to go into effect. What is this setting? I can't find it on the website, faq, or readme.
