Calendar subscription does not refresh

In outlook.com I subscribed to my TripIt calendar feed. In outlook.com I went to Import > Subscribe, and entered the ical feed URL that I got from TripIt. The URL looks like this (redacted for privacy reasons): https://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/private/<<long id here>>/tripit.ics. The initial import worked perfectly and all the events from TripIt show as expected in my outlook.com calendar.

However, outlook.com has not tried to refresh the feed for two days now, and, consequently, changes are not shown in outlook.com. Now, other software in which I imported the exact same feed, e.g. the OS X calendar app and my Google calendar, do see the updates just fine. Only outlook.com does not refresh the feed, at least not in over 48 hours now.

    What the ****.

    I am also having this issue. And I'm desperate for an answer.

    Do you guys even realise it's been almost a YEAR since this thread opened?

    What is this? Some sort of joke??

    It's just syncing calendars for crying out loud! This should be done in one month maximum.

    I'm seriously considering ditching windows.

    Really, Microsoft ignoring customer feedback.  providing crippled software, and doing nothing about it.  That's unbelievable - no wait, its not.

    That's why I'm using an Android phone, Gmail and Google Calendar,  and tell anyone who asks not to buy a Windows tablet.

    Oh, and the spell check on this site doesn't recognise "Gmail" as a word.

    Hi Craig, 

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. I'd be glad to assist you on your concern with regards to syncing your Outlook.com calendar to Google calendar.

    Syncing your calendar with another calendar usually takes place within 24 to 48 hours and it can't be changed. If it does not sync within that time range, it is already an issue.

    On you other concern about  Outlook.com and Outlook sync, are the steps you included related to syncing your Outlook.com to Office Outlook email client.

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Thank you.

    Why so long? For me it is 48 - 72 hours.

    Google refreshes every 16 hours or so.

    Why don't you change this refresh rate to every 4-8 hours?

    You would have happier users and some might jump ship from Google for Outlook.com.

    This refresh rate makes people jump ship to Google. (Google SYNCS every 16 HOURS!!!)

    I'm in this boat. It's pretty ridiculous that a subscribed calendar doesn't pull more often than every day or so. Makes it pretty much useless.
