Pamac update interval

Hello
In Pamac, I have set the ‘update interval’ to ‘weekly.’ But it updates daily. Do I misunderstand the concept?
Thanks, Ralf

Are they security updates?
In that case you may prefer they are not delayed :sweat_smile:

Sound strange.

If you set to weekly, the configuration file /etc/pamac.conf, stores the new value - it should then be

## How often to check for updates, value in hours (0 to disable):
RefreshPeriod = 168

The tray is a separate binary /usr/bin/pamac-tray which is launched by a desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart.

This is a guess - if you never restart the system, the pamac-tray binary is never reloaded, thus the new value is never loaded and pamac-tray continue checking every 6 hour - could it be this?

Not only security updates, but all updates.

RefreshPeriod is set to 168. I reboot every day.
