ddclient docker image attempts DDNS update incessantly #511
Description
It works, but I noticed it grabbing an abnormal amount of CPU every few seconds and I looked at the logs and found it's basically attempting to update every few seconds. I thought there was a min of 5 minutes imposed (which is still way faster than I need) but would be reasonable.
Here is the log:
...

Here is my config:

web=checkip.dyndns.org, \
protocol=duckdns, \

domain.duckdns.org
Here is its section in the docker-compose:
...

I was looking for a way to specify in the config a minimum polling period, but all docs say that it should never run like this. Any ideas how I can tell it that this is not okay?
