Manual conversion rate seems broken

No custom display:
With custom display:
Conversion rate: 76
Live example works.
do you have a url for this bug?
in custom display what is your conversion rate set to?
76
I see, it's showing 72.56 * 76 = 5514.56 rather than 5514.82
While it always display values to at most 2 decimals spots, it actually works with as many as necessary in the background, so the value is likely not 72.56 exactly, but somewhere between 72.565 > x >= 72.555 (and if calculated in reverse 5514.82 / 76 we get ~72.563) so it's within "error margin" on the display
Wait what? Why "72.56 * 76 = 5514.56" and not "1 * 76"? Argentinian currency changes way too often to consistently correct with corrections to the conversion provided by your servers (which is wrong). Also, that is very unintuitive.
it is "1 (USD) * 72.5634.... (ARS conversion rate) * 76 (custom rate)"
it does not take over, it multiplies onto
As for how often the extension update rates:
If you want to provide either a paid tier for a currency rates API or pay to increase server capacity I am all for making it update more often.
"1 (USD) * 72.5634.... (ARS conversion rate) * 76 (custom rate)"
This is unsustainable.

The problem is not the "ofteness" its the "incorrectness", your APIs updates are very out of date, since they are published. See here for a correct update to compare: #12 (comment), direct link to visual version.
