Synchronization of calendar stops in Thunderbird when using Google Calendar
I'm a long time user of Thunderbird and also using Google calendar for a long time now to keep my schedule synchronized between the computers and the mobile phone.
On Thunderbird I'm using the Provider for Google Calendar add-on https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/
to achieve that which has trouble since a year or so: after starting Thunderbird it does an initial synchronization, maybe keeps it synchronized for a short while, but not for hours or days; it eventually stops synchronizing. Adding new events to Google will not make it to Thunderbird and vice versa.
Turns out I'm not the only one with this problem (not surprised):

The solution proposed by jachoo is to run the following command in the console: I've managed to workaround the bug without rebuilding or reinstalling. Just run in the console (Tools -> Developer Tools -> Debug Addons -> Provide for Google Calendar -> Console) following line: await messenger.storage.local.set({"settings.idleTime": 0}) After executing this line, one must restart Thunderbird. From now, the calendar sync should work correctly.
await messenger.storage.local.set({"settings.idleTime": 0})
Since running that command I don't have this issue indeed, the synchronization is running nice and smooth - as always before.
Don't know what will come here, let's wait and see... But in the first instance it will be a login box (for myself):
