Ecowitt causing error "generates excessive hub load"

My Ecowitt WittBoy (device 83) seems to be causing me some kind of error when checking my Hubitat logs. Here are the lines I see coming up every minute or two:

ERROR Exception in parse(): com.hubitat.app.exception.LimitExceededException: Device 83 generates excessive hub load
WARN method parse of device Ecowitt WiFi Gateway ran for 129,514ms
ERROR Exception in versionUpdate(): java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out (Connection timed out)

I noticed this while trying to diagnose a different issue (Hubitat is not sending push notification messages).

Was the other problem some kind of Internet connectivity? The timeout connecting to GitHub would likely be something like that or occasionally there can be issues on the GitHub end.

You can also disable the version check if you want.
