Stale API data

Hero profile data I'm receiving from the API is really stale.

I started dev'ing an app a few days ago, I've been testing against my wife's wiz. She's currently paragon level 16, 109k dmg with a 2H weapon equipped. She's logged in and out of the game several times since I started dev a few days ago.

Right now the API shows her character at paragon 12 with 85k dmg and a 1H weapon equipped. This was the state of her wiz several days ago.

In the data,

hero.LastUpdated = 0

I've verified these results with other people's profile apps on the web, they're showing the same stale data, so I'm pretty sure it's not a caching issue on my end.

I totally understand the API isn't real-time but when the data is several days old that's starting to approach useless, is this a known issue?

We do read these threads. There were some issues with the profile caches that we're resolving. Cache kills are not always getting processed properly since 1.0.5. We do have people looking into it.
