How to overcome stale query results?

This #SheSaid main page Wikiquote:Wikiquote:SheSaid#New_articles currently has a link Query to track the hashtag which unfortunately gives a stale query result of the 18th December 2022 while up-to-date information is really required. Pressing Fork & Submit will give current query results, but is there a way of getting the query re-executed at the current time by adding parameters to the URL ? Alternatively could the result screen indicate that fork&Submit will give a refreshed result to novice Quarry users who have been pointed at a stale query result set? Thankyou. -- ~~~~

I have since noticed replacing "/query/" with "/fork/" in the url goes direct to a screen where an up-date-query may be executed to get a fresh snapshot, (quarry.wmcloud.org/fork/67962 for example). Obviously would not be advisable to do that for heavies and depends if underlying data is remaining fairly static, in the case here I would argue it is not. Any alternative tips remain welcome. Thankyou. -- Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:45, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
