I've been unable to find in the documentation what happens if a cache refresh fails (for example a timeout or 4xx).

Does the cached item get evicted, or does the previous entry stay around until a successful refresh happens?

They stay. The idea is that this way intermittent outages on the remote side do not immediately affect key usage.
