This has been true for me. AFAIK it is an issue with pretty much every 
program that gets data from the Davis IP Data Logger other than Davis' own 
Weatherlink software. Cumulus, for instance, has a setting that releases 
the driver periodically to allow the IP Data Logger to upload. In the 
Cumulus MX version, though, using that setting doesn't work reliably in my 
experience - usually crashing Cumulus MX periodically.

There is a WeeWX extension (wlink) that connects to weatherlink.com and 
downloads data from the website, rather than from your onsite data logger. 
My experience with it is that it only provides "archive" updates (every 30 
minutes) rather than LOOP data (which is every minute for me). I ended up 
purchasing a second console and a USB data logger which I connected to a 
Raspberry Pi Zero W running WeeWX. My first console has a Davis IP Data 
Logger and updates weatherlink.com.
