Hi Team, We have integrated Growthbook using the React SDK and realized that live updates are not necessary for our specific use case. Therefore, we have configured the GrowthBook instance as shown below:

const gb = new GrowthBook({
  apiHost: GROWTH_BOOK_API_HOST,
  clientKey: GROWTH_BOOK_CLIENT_KEY,
  // Enable easier debugging during development
  enableDevMode: true,
  // Disable background streaming connection
  backgroundSync: false,
  subscribeToChanges: false,
  trackingCallback: (experiment, result) => {
    // analytics tracking
  }
});

However, despite these settings, we still observe that the streaming API requests are being made every 5 minutes. Additionally, the GrowthBook dashboard indicates that streaming updates are enabled in the SDK connection. Please advise on how to disable the streaming updates.

Does this still happen after you clear localStorage cache? Wondering if it's caching the previous default backgroundSync setting and not updating properly

yes, it's still the same even after clearing the localStorage cache. Tried in private window as well, but no luck.

Ok. I'll take a look and see if I'm able to reproduce. Setting

backgroundSync

to false should in theory stop those streaming requests from happening.

Is there any way we can see the usage of the API in our account?

I am able to look that up for you if you share your clientKey (can be in a DM if you don't want to share publicly). I can also disable streaming for your account on our end in the meantime

Ok sure.

One thing I forgot to ask. What version of the React SDK are you using? The

backgroundSync

option was added in version

0.18.0

, so if you are using an earlier version it won't work.

Oh, Okay. I using 0.17.0 and that might be the reason. I will update it to latest.
