Describe the bug
Instance user count is innacurate, both to the actual instance numbers and between checking on friends and the world. Refresh button has no effect. VRCX fetches correct values only on application restart.
Friend count is correct - this leads to a possible situation where VRCX shows more friends than people in the instance.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to a friend/world profile
  2. See the discrepancy
  3. Refresh does nothing

Expected behavior
An accurate count of people inside the instance, that's consistent no matter where you check it.
[I get that there are guidelines that say "cache your data where available" - but this is way too aggressive]
Refresh button actually fetching current data from API.

Screenshots
Screenshots are from the same instance - once checked by clicking on a friend, once by checking the world and once by immediately restarting VRCX. Refresh button had no effect.

What version you are running
Version [2025.08.17] & [2025.09.10]
Does not happen in previous versions - refresh button used to fetch the correct data immediately.
