Inconsisten Group Membership

Using a group enabled team site, 30 minutes ago I added over 170 accounts to an Office Group. When I look at the home page of the SharePoint site it shows 25 Members, clicking the link shows that number of people, but when I look in O365 Groups, it shows the correct number, and when I click Conversations to go to Outlook Web App, the correct number of members is shown. 

 

I'm assuming that there are some timer jobs running but I did not expect it to take very long for consistency. Has anyone else noticed the poor performance/behavior?

    I believe that's pretty much the expected behavior, the "signals" that are supposed to be sent upon changing a group are definitely not instantaneous. Add to it the caching of group membership done by the backend, and it can easily go up to numerous hours...

    Follow up info, after approximately 1 hour, the SharePoint site members widget shows the correct number of people
