Oct 19–25: billing emails, clearer sync status and recurring-event fixes

New and improved

The sync list and each sync's page now say how quickly a change reaches the other calendar.
A sync that is applying a settings change now says "Applying your settings change" instead of "Sync on hold".
Each sync shows what it is waiting on: items waiting, items that need a look, or access to reconnect. A sync whose calendars could not be fully checked no longer shows "Up to date".
If your work account is blocked by a Microsoft or Google Workspace admin, you now get the exact link or client ID to send to your IT admin, from the dashboard, the setup-help email and the help guide.
A calendar shared into two of your connected accounts is listed once in the calendar picker, under the account that can write to it. You can no longer create a sync against a read-only copy by mistake.
New emails: one three days before renewal when your card expires first, with a link to update it, and one when a subscription ends after failed payments, saying which syncs keep running and which are paused.
Every trial screen now states what the first charge is and when it happens.
A free trial of Plus or Pro is now the first button when you reach a plan limit or ask for a longer look-ahead.
Activity explains why a meeting removed from the other calendar was left as it is.

Fixed

A sync no longer stays on "Sync on hold" because of an old retry or a calendar setup you changed.
Skipped events and self-healing notices no longer look like errors, and skips now say why.
Syncs from an iCal feed with repeating events now finish their first sync.
Events deleted and then restored in the source calendar now come back in the copy.
A new recurring Outlook meeting now reaches your Google calendar.
When a recurring series changes or ends earlier in Outlook, the other calendar follows, even if you edited or deleted one of its copies by hand.
Outlook edits no longer wait hours behind a long re-check of a recurring series.
Outlook weekly events whose week starts on a day other than Sunday or Monday now sync their settings.
A new Outlook sync whose first copy never finished because of one recurring meeting now finishes.
A first sync no longer stays "in progress" forever when some recurring-event copies cannot be sent.
A first sync with a small backlog is no longer held up behind other accounts' large backlogs.
A recurring event deleted in a CalDAV calendar (for example SOGo or Mailcow) is removed from the other calendars too, including events deleted before the first full check.
Deleting a sync no longer gets stuck when some copies were already removed from your calendar.
A calendar that keeps re-reporting an unchanged event no longer rewrites its Google copy every minute.
A sync no longer shows "A calendar setting needs checking" after you delete a past event from a recurring meeting.
Some syncs that stopped with a database timeout on 21 October run again, and slow ones run faster.
The first-payment confirmation email now goes out only on a real first payment, not on renewals.
On phones, the cookie notice is one compact row and no longer covers the first button.
OAuth consent now shows the destination domain and warns when an app is unverified.
Support now opens in one place. The old feedback button is gone, and the MCP tool send_feedback is replaced by file_support_case.
