Description

Hello!

Could you please clarify the correct way to use the sim_usage method?

Rate limit: 100 requests per minute (per unique ICCID).

However, I noticed that the SDK implements a 5-minute cache internally.

Is it possible to call this method more frequently? Maybe somehow to force cache update?

Research direction

Start with sim_usage in airalo/airalo.py and the cache implementation in airalo/services/sim_service.py, then compare its behavior with the linked Airalo API rate limit documentation. Done means establishing whether callers can refresh or bypass the five-minute cache and documenting or implementing the agreed behavior with appropriate rate-limit handling.
