[GNC] Get Quote is Not Working?

[David Reiser]

My 25 quotes takes 10-15 seconds. 

Check to see if you are accidentally asking for every currency conversion rate in the book. I think alphavantage is the default (and only?) source for currency quotes. If you’re trying to get too many of those, you’ll still be running into the alphavantage difficulties.
