This is a nice change that I almost suggested when I first started using needs-update. Some accounts (retirement) only update quarterly, some update monthly (rarely used transaction accounts), and some need updates every 2-3 days (cash) ... and yet others I really only need every 6-12 months (like that savings account in another country I never use).
Thanks for reading my mind!
