I have a SIM900A GSM Module hooked onto an Arduino Uno board. The Arduino is connected to a MPU6050 Accelerometer which is constantly monitoring data at 1 second interval. I am trying to transmit the gathered data to ThingSpeak server. I have successfully established the connection with the server and the transmission is occurring. However, the interval between two transmitted readings are very large, varying between 1 to 3 minutes. That interval is too large to use the data. Is there any way I can enhance the transmission frequency so that the data points are close enough? At least to a few seconds distance?

There does not appear to be a complete description of how ThingSpeak throttling works. However there is this text on the Thing Speak License FAQ web page:

As a reference, one unit provides the ability for a device sending data to ThingSpeak at once per second to send data to ThingSpeak for one year.

Assuming your code is working as expected and the ThingSpeak throttling is to suspend your service for 15 minutes, it may be that you are sending data faster than ThingSpeak will allow.

To test this, try to send messages slower than once per second.
