The simple gauge is not updating its visual when the value stops updating - and it appears to take the previously updated value. You can see below what happens when the value suddenly goes to zero from 249.

Then in this sequence I went from 0 to 10 to 20 manually - you can see the gauge is one update behind despite the tag being the correct value (matches PLC).

Any timeframe? I’ve spent a considerable amount of time checking my work before checking the forums!
