Manual cache purge

Manual cache purge is the refresh button for your data. Caching keeps reads fast, but sometimes you change something at the source and want the newest figure now. Purging clears the cached value for that read, so the next load fetches straight from the source instead of serving what Quri remembered a moment ago.
How to do this in Quri
- Open the metric or view whose number you want to refresh in /app.
- Use the refresh control to purge the cached value for that read.
- Quri drops the stored copy so the next load goes to the source.
- Watch the freshness banner update to the new fetch time once the fresh value lands.
Frequently asked
- When should I purge instead of waiting?
- When you changed something at the source moments ago — fixed a campaign, refunded an order — and need to confirm the new figure immediately. The background refresh would catch it soon, but purging fetches it now.
- Does purging slow things down?
- The next read after a purge is a fresh fetch, so it can take a moment longer than a cache hit. After that, the new value is cached again and reads are fast as usual.
