# Subscribed calendar has not changed for days even though the calendar is active

**What you are seeing**

A subscribed calendar has not changed for days even though the calendar is active.

---

## Why it happens

A feed left unpolled for 3 days has its cache cleared and rebuilds cold on the next poll; and if the Confluence side is unreachable a body up to 24 hours old can still be served.

---

## What to do

Force a refresh in the calendar app. If it still shows old data, revoke the link and create a new one.
