delay in kite.positions() prices

what's the max delay in fields like "last_price" in kite.positions?

it's definitely more than 15 minutes. i don't see it documented anywhere.

    why a simple question like this takes so long to answer?

    and why is something like this not clearly documented?

    It's not recommended to poll position APIs to fetch last_price; it gets updated arbitrarily with a slight delay. It is thus not possible to provide accurate, real-time P&L with an HTTP response, and the recommended way is to use WebSockets/quotes and consume real-time data and compute P&L.

    which is why i'm asking what's the max delay.

    i am not looking for real time but i need some idea how much the delay can be.

    The timing of these updates can fluctuate depending on certain factors. As a result, we aren't able to provide a definitive timeframe for the delay.
