# Decrease update time for group recent activities

 * Hello,
 * I’m displaying recent activities of a running group using a shortcode within 
   the template files of my site.
 * How often does the plugin poll for new information? It seems to take many hours
   between refreshes. Is there a way to decrease the time to perhaps every 15 minutes?
   There are hundreds of runners in the group and I would like to display more up-
   to-date information.
 * I have found that clearing the cache from the admin area does refresh the data
   but this is obviously a manual process.
 * Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

 * Hi [@l555bat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/l555bat/) – the current cache
   time for all API requests is one hour. If you want to refresh something right
   away you can go to Settings -> Strava, click the “Clear cache” checkbox and then“
   Save Changes.”
 * I’m working on this today. I’ll see if I can sneak in an option to change this
   setting.

 * Hey [@l555bat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/l555bat/) – I released 2.7.0
   yesterday which now includes an option on Settings -> Strava to switch from the
   default 1 hour cache to 15 minutes. I don’t want to go any lower than that b/
   c you’ll be bumping up against the API rate limiting. [https://developers.strava.com/docs/rate-limits/](https://developers.strava.com/docs/rate-limits/)
