Hi,

We have received reports of extreme cases where a developer needs to
wait up to 1 minute for an update. We know this is not ideal and until
we make this more reliable, a solution is to retrieve the contact
again and compare its ETag and/or updated time with the results of the
update.

Cheers,
Julian
