Behavior of RefreshMsg

We are using Real-Time Direct solution with C# SDK. We recently noticed a behavior of RefreshMsg. Basically, our previous understanding is that RefreshMsg is sent only once, when our program starts. This is the same as the document says:

"

Use of non-administrative domains generally follows a specific sequence:
• The consumer sends an ReqMsg containing the name of an item it is interested in.
• The provider first responds with an RefreshMsg to bring the consumer up to date with all currently available information.
• As data changes, the provider sends UpdateMsg (if the consumer requested streaming information).
• When the consumer is no longer interested, it sends an CloseMsg to close the stream (or, if the provider needs to close the stream, it
uses an StatusMsg).

"

What the document does not say is what else could lead to a RefreshMsg being sent.

For example, for the RIC .N225, we receive refreshMsg hundreds of times before and after market open

So we are wondering what defines when a refreshMsg is sent to us.

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Yes, after sending a request message, the first message retrieved by the application could be a solicited refresh or status message.

    However, refresh messages (unsolicited) can also be sent while the stream is opened.

    I used Tick History and found a lot of refresh message sent for that RIC.

    You need to contact the content support team directly via MyAccount to verify the content and the behavior of this RIC.
