The user list, if enabled (it is always enabled for cit #1 bots) must
be refreshed at least once every 30 minutes if the bot calls it. The
reason is that departed users are kept in the universe database for
only 30 minutes. If the refresh interval is longer than that,
duplicate entries will appear for users that log off and back in, as
the user "delete" (AW_EVENT_USER_INFO with aw_userlist_state = 0) will
not be sent to the SDK because the universe database has removed this
user from its "departed" database table.


Thanks, Chris, for the info.

The SDK docs have now been updated with this information, thanks Chris
