Sync third-party calendars faster than within 8-16 hours
In the docs about subscribing to external calendars, you state that you sync third-party calendars like Google, Outlook, or Nextcloud only every 8 to 16 hours (https://proton.me/support/subscribe-to-external-calendar). This is by far too slow to make third-party subscriptions useful. If my iOS calendar app can sync a Google calendar within seconds, you should too. Please reduce the sync time to ideally less than 1 minute, but 5 minutes at most.

Fast calendar syncing is important for event planning, especially when schedules change often. For Mala Events, keeping third-party calendars updated quickly can help avoid double bookings, missed appointments, and last-minute confusion. Instead of waiting 8–16 hours for calendar changes to appear, faster synchronization allows event teams to see updated availability sooner and coordinate venues, vendors, clients, and event schedules more efficiently. A reliable calendar sync can make planning smoother and give everyone a clearer view of upcoming events and important schedule changes. Click Here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/NFSZqgL61S6obt7M9

Purchased for me, my wife and son three Proton subscriptions. First I was happy with a Google competitor, so that I could move away from evil American Google.
But now..
- My wife does not want to use Proton Calendar because of the lack of a proper planning view.
- Sync of Calendar URL takes so long that it is useless.I'll give it a month or two for improvements, but will probably end my subscriptions.
