      I just set my raspberry pi 3 b up with magic mirror. I am trying to get my calendar to load. I can successfully run the debug.js file with the URL updated to point to my ics file and it appears to have no errors. I do observe that while it is running, it hang for a long time everytime it runs into a reoccurring event (Search for recurring events between: x and x). It takes close to 5 minutes to fully process. I have tested another Google account without any recurring events and it worked fine, I then added a couple monthly events that spanned many years and then it stops working. Any thoughts on what I can do? I only need 2 weeks of events to display. Below is the module I am working with.

      module: "calendar",
      header: "My Calendar",
      position: "top_left",
      config: {
          calendars: [
              {
                  name: "James",
                  symbol: "calendar-check",
                  url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/xxx/basic.ics",
              },
          ]
      }
