DanielHardy I've also been having this issue, but mainly I've noticed it when I have got custom row formatting with JSON as in the image below. Regularly it shows old data. I can only assume there is some sort of cache-ing happening.

RobElliott I removed all my custom formatting on my lists to see if it was the problem. With one list web part, it's just stubbornly loading the old version with the formatting enabled. Crazy thing is I can clearly see it loading the up-to-date list data (without the formatting) first for about a half-second and then replace it with the old out-of-date version of the list. Bizarre.

DanielHardy Any updates on this? I am having the same problem but am using no custom webparts. Just two on a page, one with a list web part and another with a document library part. Neither refresh until manually refreshing a few times.

I was also facing this issue before (few months ago). In my case clearing browser cache resolved the issue.
Try clearing browser cache once if it helps.
I am not sure if this is bug or causing this issue because of Minimal download strategy feature (just saying). What do you think about this RobElliott?

Is there any way to get the page to do a hard refresh automatically? I cannot tell all my site visitors to clear cache or force full refresh every time I update the file displayed in the web part.
