This is interesting.  My wife switched the laptop on at around 0850 this 
morning, used it for about five or ten minutes and then left it.  When I picked 
it up just now it had shut the screen down, but was till running.  I logged in 
and got:

terry@XPS-13:~$ snap refresh --time
timer: 00:00~24:00/4
last: today at 08:54 BST
next: today at 12:51 BST

I then did a manual refresh:

terry@XPS-13:~$ snap refresh
2020-04-27T10:33:06+01:00 INFO Waiting for restart...
core18 20200311 from Canonical✓ refreshed
gtk-common-themes 0.1-36-gc75f853 from Canonical✓ refreshed
snapd 2.44.3 from Canonical✓ refreshed

So in theory, had those updated Apps been available at 0854 she would have got 
them.  I'm assuming that they weren't then and they've only been applied now  
because I did a manual refresh.  The chances of the machine being alive at 
1251 are low, so at the next scheduled refresh time the machine would have 
been asleep or shut down completely.

Even so, the chances are that those Apps would have been caught the next time 
the machine was used, so this begs the question; why were able to use the 
machine for nearly five months without snap refreshing Chromium?
