GEOip list update interval

Hi,

How often does the GEOip list under Firewall>Aliases>GEOIp setting?  Is it every 24 hours or ?

Thanks

I know this isn't an answer,  but I have in essence the same question. 

I have two opnsense firewalls running 20.7.7_1  and both are downloading the geoIP DB from MaxMind every minute.  My MaxMind free account is hitting the max downloads allowed per day.  Any idea how to adjust this?   When I look at the FW logs I see two attempts made every two days.  Very much a disconnect between what is logged.

Strange, here the geo_ip is updated every 24 h (although Aliases get updated every few minutes via Cron). Don't remember if it got configured during setup...
kind regards

Alias DB is getting updated fine when I use IP block lists every 24 hours, just not sure about GeoIP from maxmind, what log files should I be looking at to see when/what this interval is ?
