How often does Activity page refresh?

[gwait]

Not refresh as in press F5 but for example let's say I take a screenshot in a game and upload it to Steam cloud, how long would it take for me to wait in order to take another screenshot on the same game so instead of it saying "has posted 2 screenshots" it would say "has posted 1 screenshot" but twice?

Hard to understand but I'll explain if necessary

Please explain.

If let's say I take two screenshots at once and upload them it'll say "Suldok has uploaded 2 screenshots", but what is the period of how often activity page refreshes so I upload one screenshot at one time and then another screenshot at another time so it'll say "Suldok has uploaded 1 screenshot" but two times on the activity page.

Probably after a different session.

I think as soon as someone elses activity breaks the chain; your screenshots will be split on your feed.

Doesn't seem to be a case, as it's the same game it just groups up previous screenshot (taken about 10 minutes ago) with the one I made right now and says 2 screenshots uploaded, so now you understand, what is the period between the refresh so it'll group them separately (same game)

Yes that's understandable, but let's say I go into my own feed, not my friends feed. Unless you mean something like an achievement.

Ah that's a point - not sure about that one really but it's certainly not session-based as I've taken screenshots over the duration of a day before and they've all been grouped. I'd take a stab at it being over a duration; probably 24 hours. It may be worth doing a quick test by taking a screenshot in one game, then a different game and then going back to the previous game to see if the first and last one group or seperate in the feed.

Just tried this out, made a screenshot on game #1, left it then made a screenshot of game #2, then came back to game #1 again for another screenshot and the screenshots of game #1 have been grouped into one, so I'll definitely agree that there's a time limit involved into this but the real question is how long is the limit.

I've played BioShock recently and made screenshots about 2 days ago and then finished off BioShock (also made new screenshots) today and they've been grouped seperately but if I go into my feed between these two sessions of BioShock I've achieved achievements in Time Clickers game so I wonder.

What I'm going to try is take screenshot of a game, then launch another game and achieve at least 1 achievement and then go back to the original game and take another screenshot and see whether the achievement splits the screenshots or still groups them together. It'll also be interesting to try waiting 24 and 48 hours to see if it splits them.
