Update problem, please help me

I get the attached piwik exception in reponse whenever I make the first REST API call of the day to piwik server. How can i disble or tell piwik not to check for updates when I make REST calls. I understand that there could be internet or proxy problem causing piwik update failure, but why is that piwik checks for its update when i make REST calls to piwik from my programs. Note that this happens only for the first REST API call of the day, it is not re-producible for the rest of the day. Is there some way I can disable automatic update?
