How do data refresh times affect API and Explore data in Zendesk?

Data refresh times can significantly impact the data you see in Zendesk's API and Explore.

However, Explore operates on various refresh rates, meaning the data might not be as current as the API data. This difference in refresh timing can lead to discrepancies between the two data sources.
