NTP sync, status "timeNeedsSync" not working about time HOT 2 CLOSED

update: the system time keeps on going after disconnection of the LAN cable, however each time the hour(),minute(),day(),year() gets called it attempts to sync time. This causes huge delays in my program. If a sync doesn't succeeds, shouldn't the sync-ing be postponed untill the next interval? When a network connection is not available this causes the program to delay every time a time-function gets called.

eg: this is status, hour, minutes, seconds, day, month,year (1:timeneedssynck; 16h23m22s 21-08-2017). Shoudn't this run on internal clock when no sync is available ans try to sync at next interval?

from time.

problem solved: syncinterval starts counting before setting up udp session which can take a few seconds. with syncinterval set to 30s it works as expected.
