I've noticed that when I make changes to the data in my Google Sheet the wpdatatable on my site doesn't update consistently.
What is considered nominal behavior? How long should it take from the time I make a change on Google Sheets before the change is reflected on WordPress?
I've seen where sheets with 3000+ rows can take a while, but my sheet is pretty small.
Just like mentioned in our documentation - There is a cache on the Google side, so when you update the table it might take up to 5-15 minutes to be reflected in wpDataTables.
Please go through the page from the link provided above. You need to look out for changing names of columns, adding or removing columns and changing their order - those actions may break the table all together.
And as for tables linked to sheets with 3000+ rows, again I must quote the documentation:
The data is read from the data source every time the page loads, so when your tables are large (more then 2000-3000 cells) this source won’t be the right choice since the page with large tables will load slow, or even crash after reaching a certain size.
