Calendar subscription does not refresh

Anonymous

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.

    I also need a more frequent refresh rate. Or a "refresh button" atleast on the Windows Phone app. Google not only refreshes their iCal subscriptions roughly 4-5 times a day, versus once every one and a half day for Microsoft Outlook.com, but also give a "refresh now" button in their Android app.

    I would like to join this long line of users with this issue.  Microsoft needs to come up with a solution ASAP or I am switching, don't want to, but I need a product to work as expected.
