I am using Legacy Sharing on my Workbook, with .AutoUpdateFrequency = 5 (minutes).

When I have the Workbook open in Read-Write mode, updates are pulled in every 5 minutes.

However, when the same Workbook is open in Read-Only mode, updates from others are not pulled in.

The only solution I have seen online is to close and reopen the workbook, whether manually or with VBA. However these people weren't using Legacy Sharing.

Is there a better way to get the changes while in Legacy Sharing Read-Only mode? In the Immediate VBA window I can see that .AutoUpdateFrequency is still 5 while in Read-Only, .EnableEvents = True. I also made sure that .Saved = True in case Excel was worried about changes being lost.
