When is refresh happening?

How long does it take for a refresh to take place if you requested? Is it done straight away? I have updated a show both on TVDB and TMDB and want to know how long will it take.

We do automatic refreshes each night for any items TVDB and TMDB tell us have updated. If you click the refresh button yourself, we immediately queue it up and it’s usually pretty instant, but depends how many other items are in the queue already.

It is my understanding TVDB has a cache on their api, so it might take 8 hours or more for the edits to show up in their api. I don’t believe TMDB has this cache period and those updates are available right away in their api.
