Bug description

I recently set up EssentialsXDiscordLink — and it’s really great! However, it is not actively re-syncing my in-game groups to Discord roles.

The syncing works correctly when a user first runs /link, but it never updates their roles after that.

Here is my DiscordLink config: https://pastebin.com/7vDNrJGQ

Steps to reproduce

1. A player runs /link for the first time.
2. They immediately receive the default linked role on Discord. ✅ (This works as expected.)
3. Later, that player’s in-game group changes (e.g., they become a Supporter).
4. The corresponding Discord role never gets updated.
5. If the player runs /unlink and then /link again, the correct role is applied. ✅ (Manual re-link works.)
6. Automatic syncing of groups to roles does not happen.

Expected behaviour

When a player’s in-game group changes, their linked Discord roles should automatically update according to the config’s resync settings.

Actual behaviour

• Roles only update on the initial /link.
• Any later changes to the player’s in-game group do not sync automatically.
• Manual /unlink + /link works, but this defeats the purpose of automatic role syncing.

Additional Information

I’m concerned this might also mean that users will not lose their ranks when their in-game groups expire — though I have not tested this yet because the setup is new.

Am I configuring something incorrectly, or is this a current limitation of EssentialsXDiscordLink?
