Refresh rate of your calendar feeds

How often your calendar feed refreshes depends on the calendar app you use. Some calendar apps update as often as every 5 minutes, whereas others update only once per day.

Apple Calendar is the only app that lets you manually refresh your calendar feed. If you're using Apple Calendar for macOS, press ⌘ + R. If you're using Apple Calendar for iOS, tap Calendars at the bottom of the screen. Then, pull down the screen to refresh the calendar.

If you've added tasks with recurring due dates to the project, the Todoist calendar feed only shows the first seven occurrences of these tasks in your calendar. As you get through your week, the calendar feed displays the rest of the occurrences overtime.

Turn off all calendar feeds

If you need to turn off all Todoist calendar feeds, issue a new API token:

  1. Log in to Todoist at https://todoist.com.
  2. Click your avatar in the top-left.
  3. Select Integrations.
  4. Select the Developer tab.
  5. Click Issue a new API token. You'll be logged out from all devices authorized to access the Todoist account.
