Description
CLI Script
getusgs-timeseries
Describe the bug
When attempting to download and store data that is natively 5 minute data from the USGS into a 15 minute pathname in CWMS fails. This works using the getUSGS_CDA.py script outside of cwms-cli.

Research direction
Start with the getusgs-timeseries CLI entry point and compare its USGS download and CWMS storage flow with getUSGS_CDA.py, which reportedly works outside cwms-cli. Reproduce the case using native 5-minute data written to a 15-minute pathname, then verify that the values are stored successfully rather than producing repeated CDA 500 errors.
