Summary of the issue you are facing:

Hi Folks,
i´ve successfully added a new Calendar within Nextcloud from a CalDav-Url.

Now, when i make changes on an event in the external calendar (e.g. change the beginning time) the change is not updated within the NC Calendar.

Any hint how to make this update appear here?
Thanks,
Dennis

I think you are at the mercy of the frequency at which the source (external calendar) pushes and update out.

Hi Fred,
so NC waits for that push you you mean and is not able to fetch the updates e.g. every 30 min. by a cronjob?

There is a configuration option for the refresh rate, which can be changed using the occ command: Calendar / CalDAV — Nextcloud latest Administration Manual latest documentation

See also the linked document for the interval specification: PHP: DateInterval::__construct - Manual

If I have interpreted the specification correctly, the correct value for “every 30 minutes” would be PT30M, which would then translate into the following occ command:

php occ config:app:set dav calendarSubscriptionRefreshRate --value "PT30M"
