## Description

* * *

Previously, users could set different refresh intervals for dashboards. This led to inconsistent behavior across dashboards. To avoid this, the live mode now enforces a fixed refresh interval of 5 seconds or real-time updates, depending on the widget type. This improves the user experience as the dashboard refresh behavior is now consistent and predictable, with each widget refreshing either after 5 seconds or in real time based on its type.
