I have a button with a system.tag.writeBlocking function. I have the tag that this function writes to as leased. From the docs, the leased tags only switch rates when they’re displayed. Is my leased tag ever operating at the faster rate in this scenario? Does a button with a script writing to a tag count as “being displayed on an open window or view: generally via a Tag Binding of some sort.” - docs.

Thanks in Advance!

Scripted tag operations (read or write) do not affect lease status at all. Only bindings do.

Thank you! Does the tag group rate even affect the write-time to an opc tag like that? or am I off on that too.

No, unless you've overloaded the comms. Then you have some queue delay. Otherwise, the group rate will only influence the time needed to **confirm** the write.
