Availability of MD+ Transactions
This discussion is public.
Has anyone else noticed that the Plaid downloads aren't as timely as direct/ofx downloads?
If I sign on to my bank or credit card websites, I see new transactions (not pending) each day. If I download the ofx file, they can be imported in to MD, but the MD+ connection doesn't show any new transactions imported. It can be later in the day or even the the next day before they finally download.
I'm too anxious/timely to wait another day for data that I know is available.
Is Plaid only connecting to the banks on a set schedule instead of on demand as users try to get the data?

I guess no one else has noticed this.

I think Plaid periodically connects and then caches info for a period of time. This is my own guess, not necessarily correct. I also think Plaid maintains a logged in connection, and this might be why Plaid seems to continue to work for a few days after access has been revoked.
