How often is the changes feed updated?

Hey,
I'm trying to spot the changes that were done to a season in the changes feed for TV shows but I can't find it?
That's the changes I'm looking for (The addition of new episodes) that were done today, 2017-01-27:
https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/64506-z-the-beginning-of-everything/season/1/changes
I looked at this endpoint and searched for the show ID 64506:
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/changes
I set the url parameter end_date to 2017-01-25 just to be sure and went through all pages but the show ID didn't show up there. Is there something I'm missing in how this works or is this just delayed by a few hours?
Thanks,
clapton

Hi there,
/changes calls are cached for 5 minutes, not very long. It's probably a timeshift thing you're seeing. The website shifts the dates and times to your local timezone, while the API is strictly UTC.
I found that ID on this page (it could change by the time you check it):

Interesting, thanks for taking the time to check that in detail! Then it should be fine and I just have to change something on my end :)
