 * Good day!
 * Questions:
 * (1) How often does MonsterInsights’ widget data (i.e., Google Analytics data 
   display) refresh itself?
 * (2) How is this accomplished? (via cron? transients?)
 * (3) Is their a way we can modify programmatically the refresh interval for the
   widget data?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi there,
    The widget data for Lite users is updated once per day through the
   API, and shows the last 30 days (exclusive of the current day).
 * Resultingly, the data wouldn’t change regardless of the number of times it was
   refreshed, since the value of last 30 days is a fixed number (no other date range
   is possible through the API the lite version uses).
 * If you’d like to have the widget include the current day’s data, you’d need to
   upgrade to the Pro version.
