Node catalogue updates seem slower than usual

Hi all,

It looks like the Node-RED community node module catalogue is being refreshed less frequently than it used to be.

At the time of writing (14:34 UTC / 16:34 CEST, Thu Sep 24 2026), the catalogue reports:

Node-RED community node module catalogue — Updated: Thu Sep 24 10:27:47 UTC 2026

That's roughly 4 hours behind.

As a concrete example, I published a new version of @yousolution/node-red-contrib-ycs-use-model to npm at around 10:00 UTC (12:00 CEST), and it still hasn't shown up in the Palette Manager. In the past, updates usually propagated much sooner.

Is this a known issue, or has the update schedule changed?

Thanks!

I think you have to add it manually to the catalogue...

Thanks, but it's already there — the module is listed on the Flow Library and shows the new version correctly:

node-red-contrib-ycs-use-model (node) - Node-RED (v2.0.0)

The Palette Manager on Noderd still shows the previous version (v1.1.1)
immagine

It used to appear Palete Manager in Node-RED after about an hour.

It's a known issue.

The task that updates the catalogue is scheduled to run as a GitHub action every 30 minutes. In recent weeks, we're lucky if it runs every 4-6 hours.

We're looking at changing how the action is run to not rely on their own scheduler and to trigger it ourselves automatically.
