    The prices need to be periodically refreshed. This seems to be why the plug-in is causing API throttling issues for some people as it’s trying to get all these prices all of the time.

    “Further, if the product price is not refreshed every one hour, the displayed price should be accompanied with a timestamp when the price was read.”

    {{StrikePriceLabel}}: <span class=”aalb-250-pa-product-list-price-value”>{{StrikePrice}}</span>
    </div>
    {{/StrikePrice}}
