      I spent the last couple weeks setting up my MM and everything is going well, but I noticed recently that my google calendar has stopped updating.

      When I restart MM or change the config.js file, it seems to fetch the calendar and everything loads properly. But as I make changes on the google calendar itself, the changes never seem to get pushed to the MM.

      Again, if I restart the MM or change the config.js, it seems to force a manual refresh of the calendar and everything looks up to date. But, when I leave it run, an automatic refresh never seems to happen.

      The section of my config.js is below. I made the fetch interval 30 seconds for testing purposes, but usually have it at the default of 5 min.

      Any thoughts?

      		{
      			module: "calendar",
      			position: "top_left",
      			config: {
      				calendars: [
      
      					{
      						symbol: "calendar-check",
      						fetchInterval: 30000,
      						url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/<xxxxxx>/basic.ics",
      						name: "joint_calendar"
      					},
      					
      				{
      						symbol: "calendar-check",
      						fetchInterval: 30000,
      						url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/<xxxxxx>/basic.ics",
      						name: "jimmy_calendar"
      					},
      	
      					
      				]
      			}
      		},

        @jimmy_382837 the fetchInterval setting is for all calendars, not each. so the default is 7 days now cause we were pounding on calendarlabs annual calendar every 30 minutes.

        so move the fetchInterval setting to right after the config:{ line in the module settings

          @sdetweil thanks - that seemed to have worked and makes sense!
