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
- Create any trend view in product analytics
- Update the
Filter out internal and test userscondition, so it will exclude some events displayed in the trends view - 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.
