Outlook Calendar not showing changes to linked Google Calendar

I have 2 shared Google calendar that I have added to my Outlook calendar using the Google "secret address in ical format". When new things get added, I can see them in Outlook, but if an event is changed (description for instance or time), the changes don't sync to the Outlook calendar. The same thing happens with deleted events; they aren't removed from my Outlook calendar. Some of the changes were made more than a month ago and still have not synced, but new entries have synced. I have tried deleting and re-connecting the calendar. I've attached an example of the changes not shown for one of the calendars.

I just got a new computer with Windows 11. I was having this same problem on the previous computer using Windows 10.

    I am having the same issue, with both the "classic" Outlook and the "new" Outlook / web interface, with a variety of Google calendars.

    Outlook seems incapable of updating subscribed calendars -- it keeps reverting to some kind of old cached version of the calendar.

    EXACTLY. That is exactly my problem. I can remove and re-add the google calendar in my Outlook Web and it claims it loads but there are only like 4 events from a long time ago. It seems like it is confused and thinks it has synced when it has not.

    Ok, looks like I'm not the only one having this issue. Ugh. This is killing me, not being able to see multiple Calendars in Outlook. Same as everyone else: A few weeks ago, the calendars simply stopped syncing.

    I was able to get my Google Calendar working again. So, there were only 4 out of several hundred events from my Google calendar showing in Outlook.
    I was able to get my calendar to work by deleting and recreating the 4 singular events in my Google Calendar. After I did that I deleted and resubscribed to the shared google calendar in Outlook and it magically imported all my events again. The one thing in common with these 4 events is they were annually recurring birthday reminders and they were extremely old. They didn't cause a problem up until the last month or two but doing this process fixed it for me. Let me know if anyone else can get the shared Google calendar to show up in Outlook again with this fix.

    ***UPDATE***

    While I got the shared calendar to finally import it does NOT update new events. I deleted a few events 2 days ago and they are still showing on the shared calendar. So this feature is still broken.
