Complication not Updating in Modular Ultra

[nectario]

It seems the complication never updates. Even one hour later, and it never updated. The Apple face I'm using is the Modular Ultra. I have an Apple Watch Ultra 2.

Hi! You would have to configure Background Updates:

If that is configured correctly, what complication are you using?

The gauge complication should work fine. The rectangular one seems to need a fix on watchos 10.

I have already done this. Nothing works. Complication will not update. Sometimes an entire hour will pass without updating. I am using the Modular Ultra face...

[nectario]

Is this an issue with the complication or Apple Watch? It seems other complications are not updating either...

[dhermanns]

The circular nightguard complications are updating fine for me. The rectangular seems to have a problem, but just on the watch. And only after updating to watchos10.

How often is this supposed to update? I now see it updates every 20 minutes...

[dhermanns]

That is already very good. You can try to improve it e.g. by placing multiple Complications on your watch and ios widgets.

Each widget is getting an own update budget from Apple.

Thanks. Nothing seems to work. I tested again and tried to measure how long it will update. So, more than an hour later, it never updated...

Try the latest TestFlight and the rectangular complication. It should update much better.

I have the same issues with the updates not coming through on Apple Watch Ultra 2, complications in Modular ultra. It updates immediately if I click through to the app though.

Next Build 842 will be available soon. All complications should update mich more frequently.

Till now, I was using background updates to update the complications. These are very infrequent. Now the TimelineProvider, used for widgets, updates it on its own. That seems to work MUCH better.

You should see this new behavior in the rectangular complication in build 841 already.

Wow, thanks for addressing this issue! Looking forward to trying it! It seems this issue to be impacting A LOT of other complications as well. We are talking about no update even after an hour (all of them) except the weather one and compass....

[grahamjenson]

Awesome, thank you. Looking forward to the update.

Any idea when this will become generally available? Looking forward!

I'm currently rewriting background updates and therefore I'm planning to release everything as a bigger release.

But you can use the TestFlight till then...
