Webcal subscriptions not fully syncing
Our medical school uses an SQL database to produce webcal feeds for class and building schedules. They've been using these for years without issue. At some point recently, users who are newly subscribing to them are only seeing events for 2 days before the current date and 7 days after. Subscribing to the same webcal feed in Google calendar syncs all of the published events.
