However earlier the call wasn't done at all, and that didn't cause problems.

I don't have any background here. My initial assumption would be that it should be enough to re-configure them when the frequency passes the threshold in either direction.
Anyway, IIUC there shouldn't be more than 5 frequency changes per second (polling_ms = 200), and likely no all of them would pass the threshold, so it seems limiting the calls (if possible) would be a micro-optimization and is probably not worth the hassle :)
Thanks
