Issue with task state not updating after API response – possible caching or async delay?

geometry vibes

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on an integration using the Contrakto API and I’ve run into a strange issue with task state updates.

When I trigger a task update via the API, the response returns success (200 OK) and the payload shows the updated state correctly. However, in the UI/dashboard, the task still shows the old state unless I manually refresh multiple times or wait several minutes.

I’ve already checked a few things:

API response confirms the correct updated status
No errors in the network tab
Tried disabling browser cache, but issue still persists
Same behavior across Chrome and Firefox

So I’m wondering:

Is there any known caching layer between the API and the dashboard UI?
Could this be related to async processing or eventual consistency?
Is there a recommended way to force real-time refresh of task state after updates?

Any guidance or similar experiences would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
