UpdateThing (IoT) Attribute

Question

Hello,

I do have a question. When I'm trying to update an attribute on a thing it takes 20-30s to update it, and when I'm trying to load those things again, the updated thing is still not updated. (only if i load those things again after 30s I will see the modifications.)
I'm using fleet index and not a searchable attribute.

So my questions is:** How can I see the modified value when I load the things before that 30s?**

Thanks,
Razvan

Hi,

updating the fleet index can take some moments. If you want to see the result of attribute modification faster you can use the [DescribeThing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/apireference/API_DescribeThing.html) API. You can use the AWS CLI or the SDKs to query this API.

KR,

Hello,
Thank you for your response, but I have to load all the things into a table filtered by an attribute and the item is not loading in time ( because the update takes a while).  I'm struggling with this to find a work-around.

Very similar issue, I am using propagated attributes and when I update an attribute it takes sometimes 10 minutes for it to reflect in an invoked rule. Massive issue for our use case.
