EDMC not updating ships locations

Describe the bug

Under Files>Status, in the Ships tab, most of my ships' locations are outdated by at least 3 months. i've boarded each of my ships while EDMC is running and this did nothing. i checked the file location that its pulling my journals from, and it is correct. i don't know how to fix this, but someone on the ED Frontier Forum said that their ships are all over the place too. it doesn't seem to be updating for at least a good chunk of people.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to ''File>Status"
2. Click on 'Ships' tab

Expected behavior

I expected all my ships to be in one system, as they are.

This suggests that the Frontier Companion API isn't returning accurate information as to where ships are located, as that ships list uses only Companion API data.

For example, the Companion API puts one of my ships in Blackmount Habitation in HIP 17692, while the game has it in Reed's Rest in Merope.
CAPI (from File -> Save Raw Data):

{

    "name": "SideWinder",
    "value": {
        "hull": 0,
        "modules": 73827,
        "cargo": 0,

    }
}

}

Looking back in my journals, I transferred that ship to the new station in 2022.

In testing, the ship location returned by the Companion API is updated when either:

• the ship is actively undocked and re-docked, or
• the commander profile is retrieved from the Companion API while in the ship (e.g. by clicking the Update button in EDMC).
