Sage too-frequent updates from SchedulesDirect EPG

[GitOutWest]

Sage (currently 9.2.13) is making EPG update requests to SchedulesDirect every couple of hours. Not too long ago Sage wasn't doing it this often -- more commonly once a day, which seemed to be often enough. Setting an hour (e.g. 3am) in the GUI ara is pretty much ignored so I don't have that set.

Doing EPG updates from SD every two hours isn't "hurting" anything, but given recent issues that made SD ban Sage access (until we did a Sage update, then begged forgiveness one by one...) I'd rather not have it doing EPG updates more often than needed. And I don't understand why it's doing an EPG update every 2hrs+ when it used do it every 24hrs.

Is there an issue with the program that needs to be fixed?
Is there a setting we can tweak to control how often (and even when, since the GUI setting doesn't work) EPG updates happen?

Did you get a reply from anyone on this? I'd like to use Sage on multiple computers, and would like to program what time of day the EPG updates, since SD's servers won't be happy if all machines are hitting them at the same time

No response.

I haven't updated Sage since that post. The update-at-time feature wasn't working then, and when I've checked the status/log I see it updating every few hours all day long. Fortunately it's not often enough that Schedules Direct feels the need to ban me. And I only have Sage Server running on one PC (with multiple Clients).
