The "7 minutes til" text is coming from unity8. indicator-datetime passes the event's time to unity8 in the x-canonical- time property, and qml/Panel/Indicators/MenuItemFactory.qml's appointmentMenu code builds its time from calling i18n.relativeDateTime() on that x-canonical-time value.
Ideally, unity8 would have a timer kick at the top of the minute and update appointmentMenu's time property. A hackier solution would be for indicator-datetime to rebuild the menu every minute. This should have the same effect for this ticket, but it would involve unnecessary bus traffic and IMO doesn't address the problem in the right place ** Also affects: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: ubuntu-calendar-app Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

As an example, I had an event scheduled for 23:50. At 23:43 I pulled down the indicator and it said 7 minutes 'till. At 23:45 I tried again and it still said 7 minutes. I checked again at 23:47 and it said 3 minutes till. I checked again at 23:50 and it still said 3 minutes. At 23:51 the item disappeared, even though the event was an hour long. So, it updates infrequently and doesn't show events while they're active (except for the first minute).
