My app is trying to make a reloadAllTimelines request after the user adds a piece of information to the Core Data database using Siri (through a shortcut). Unfortunately, if the user submits a few of these in a row, my widget's data will become stale as only the first few refreshes are processed and the rest seemed to be dropped (only allowing updating again after five or so minutes). I also call reloadAllTimelines when the user exits the app, and those requests are never dropped. It seems like, since the app is in the foreground, it's more privileged in these requests. I'm wondering: if a user explicitly chose to run my code via a Siri shortcut, why do I not get a "free" refresh of the widget? I totally get not letting developers spam refresh in the background, but if the user is making the chose to run a snippet of the app, it feels bad that the widget is going to look stale to them :\

Is this an acceptable use case for an app clip? I know app clips are short lived, and I'd have the data migrate if the user chose to purchase the app, but I wonder if this is a good way for people to quickly play around with the app and see if they like it within a few minutes, then make a purchase decision.
