According to dnf.conf manual, "The default corresponds to 48 hours".

This will cause dnf to check if metadata on the server have updated, and do not download (50+ MB) again if not.

The not-checking-updates issue seems separate and in fact working as documented (but maybe not as expected). Other issues, should be fixed in the update. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
