Need assistance understanding refresh rate vs updating of data

Hi there. I got my trmnl X yesterday and it doesn't quite operate as I assumed it would. The primary use case I have it to show my task list from Google Tasks to track work tasks throughout the day. I have added the Google Tasks plugin and my task list does display. The device refreshes as expected. The issue is that the actual data seems to only update very occasionally.

I have the device's refresh rate and the plugin's max refresh rate both set to 15 mins. I assumed that would mean that every 15 mins the device would request my current Google Tasks list and display it as it currently is. That is not at all what seems to happen.

Test scenario:

  1. My Google Tasks list is displayed on the trmnl
  2. I add a task in the Google Tasks app on my phone
  3. At some point in the next 15 mins the trmnl refreshes (I have sat and watched it and it does flicker indicating a refresh)
  4. Nothing in the Google Tasks list has changed. It is exactly as it was before I added the tasks 10 mins ago
  5. I went to bed last night
  6. When I woke up this morning the new task I added last night is now displaying on the trmnl

So at some point overnight it appears the trmnl did request new data from my Google Tasks. If this is operating as intended the refresh of Google Tasks data is way too infrequent to be useful for my purposes. Can someone confirm if this is working as intended or have I potentially configured something wrong?

I think i already know the answer but just checking before I rip it in half

Bought this from a lovely lady. I'm sure she didn't think it was fake but when I got it home and had a closer look. The text is pretty blurry and it feels a little floppy vs a card I know is real.

All English cards from 1999

I've been on a quest, combining my childhood collection with some extra singles, to collect every unlimited card released in 1999. I have complete base, jungle and fossil sets. I also have the no. 1 through 5 black star promos.

I've found it surprisingly difficult to verify if this is everything. Is there anything I'm missing?
