 * Is there any way to make the plugin update its feed at a specific time/interval?
   For example set it to only look for feeds at 12am everyday.

 * Yes, but not with the plugin.
    PLease write a custom plugin or copy the code 
   to your functions.php of the theme.
 * `add_filter( 'wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', create_function( '$a', 'return
   1800;' ) );`
 * 1800 in seconds
