User interface update lagging when update booking calendar

zwang41 I can't believe that this has not garnered more attention! We're making use of Bookings in a school to cover parent-teacher meetings a few times a year. Back in 2020-2022, it worked flawlessly and was responsive. For the 2023-24 school year, it was rendered nearly useless, and we ended up abandoning the product altogether.

I ended up opening a ticket with Microsoft support, which eventually resulted in being told that it was behaving 'by design'... I'm sorry, but a product that can't handle booking requests without a 4-5 minute delay is FLAWED. Time to fire the designers, because that's a recipe for disaster.

I began looking at this again today, hoping that Microsoft had come to their senses and realized that their 'by design' system was indeed not working as it should, but alas, I find myself responding on a tech community post that will result in little more than allowing me to breathe a bit easier knowing that I'm actually not insane.
