I know that it gets updated 7 or 8ish.

What are the chances that something changes in the next 12 hours? It's
more likely that a change is made in the previous 13 days. And if the
update fails then you have the same "old" data, if not even older data
if it fails more often.

But the main reason for me was, that my BE doesn't run 24/7. It wakes up
when it records or when I watch something. And it's more likely that it
will be switched on 19:00 than 8:00.
