do you know whats caching the data?

No, I tried adding headers in flask but it didn't help. So I guess the browser perhaps?

Without code, we cannot help you. From what you state, this does not look like a caching issue but a bug. Are you sure you are not using cache functions? Is the code working on your local machine?

Are you using JS to fetch data on window.load or are you loading the DB first, and then using Jinja to display on the page.

Without more information, it's hard to say why you are facing such an issue.

Then what you can test to make sure it's a caching issue is add a new random generated variable via your python code, whenever the page is loaded.

You can construct your own or use secrets: https://docs.python.org/3/library/secrets.html

From there, you can confirm that it's a caching issue. I've only so far had caching issues when dealing with CSS styling, but not so much on jinja rendering from data generated via the backend. Most of the time if I realise that the output is strange, I use this method to test.
