Multiple interval object in a single page

I tried to declare 3 interval objects in a single page, but it seems only the smallest interval gets fired. Is this a known issue/limitation?

    import dash
    import dash_core_components as dcc
    import dash_html_components as html
    import plotly.graph_objs as go
    from dash.dependencies import Input, Output, Event, State
    
    app = dash.Dash()
    # app.config.supress_callback_exceptions=True
    
    def getLayout():
        return html.Div([
            html.H1(id='Title1',children='Multiple intervals in a single page',style={'text-align':'center'}),
            html.Div(id='Title2', children='''
                Test multiple intervals in a single page.
            ''',style={'margin-bottom':'50px','text-align':'center'}),
            html.Div('Div1',id='div1'),
            html.Div('Div2',id='div2'),
            html.Div('Div3',id='div3'),
            dcc.Interval(
                id='interval-component-1',
                interval=500 # in milliseconds
            ),
            dcc.Interval(
                id='interval-component-2',
                interval=300 # in milliseconds
            ),
            dcc.Interval(
                id='interval-component-3',
                interval=400 # in milliseconds
            )
        ])
    
    app.layout = getLayout
    
    @app.callback(Output('div1', 'children'),
                  events=[Event('interval-component-1', 'interval')],
                  state=[State('div1','children')])
    def update_div_1(origin):
        print('$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$','update_div_1')
        return origin+'.'

                  events=[Event('interval-component-2', 'interval')],
                  state=[State('div2','children')])
    def update_div_2(origin):
        print('$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$','update_div_2')
        return origin+'.'
    
    @app.callback(Output('div3', 'children'),
                  events=[Event('interval-component-3', 'interval')],
                  state=[State('div3','children')])
    def update_div_2(origin):
        print('$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$','update_div_3')

Thanks for reporting @kfyao! I have confirmed the issue, I’ll look into a fix now.

The dcc.Interval component’s timer is getting reset every time the app updates. I’ll have to rework how these updates work in order to fix this issue.

This has been fixed in dash-core-components==0.12.5, upgrade with pip install dash-core-components==0.12.5

Thanks again for reporting!
