Description

Bug description

When I update Filter out internal and test users filters my trends in the product analytics don't update. It looks like it's cached and I even cannot find any force refresh button.

How to reproduce

  1. Create any trend view in product analytics
  2. Update the Filter out internal and test users condition, so it will exclude some events displayed in the trends view
  3. See that the displayed data don't change

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in a Cloud PostHog product analytics trend: change the “Filter out internal and test users” condition and compare the displayed data. Trace how the trend view uses cached results and the filter setting; done means changing the condition updates the trend data without requiring an unavailable manual refresh.
