How to say “Real-time” in regards to regular process
We have a software product which relies on a 3rd party API to give us our customers' hourly usage data. Though the usage is recorded and changes by the hour, the data which the API serves is updated with new data approx. once per 24hrs.
This means that, at N+23 hours, the data we have in our product is "real-time" in respect to the API'S (since we are constantly polling them to check if there is any update), but not real-time in respect to the actual usage data behind the scenes.
A lot of our marketing material says "real-time", but I don't think that is accurate. I think it's some thing more like "as real-time as possible". I guess there is also "latest" but I don't like the sound of that. Any suggestions?
