  Hello, I have a bug when I click quickly, the advice doesn't update right away. If you have a solution please tell me :)

  Thank you,

  Hey Ornella, great work. I just worked on this too.

  So, the API documentation says "Advice is cached for 2 seconds. Any repeat-request within 2 seconds will return the same piece of advice." That's probably why quick clicks won't update immediately, but after 2 seconds

  To get past this, you can generate a random query parameter and append to the API URL to bypass the caching mechanism. This is what I mean:

  const timestamp = Date.now(); const res = await fetch(https://api.adviceslip.com/advice?timestamp=${timestamp});

  It tricks the API server to think that it is a new request each time. I hope this helps
