Reducing the Spotify API usage and avoiding rate limiting

Hello, i'm currently creating a browser extension that needs to know the current track the user is listening to.
I'm currently using the nowPlaying endpoint but the extension needs to send a request every ~5seconds.
The user logs in using the Oauth flow with my Spotify Application and I would have thought this request would not be counted in the rate limit of my application.
However it seems it is counted as it's showing up on the dashboard.
How can I make realtime tracking viable no matter the amount of users ? Because if the amount of users increase I will rapidly hit the rate-limit. (A user sends 12 requests per min)
