When closed

Never.Spreadsheets update external api only onOpen(). But there is no documentation and this may change in the future.

When open, 30 minutes

Functions that pull data from outside the spreadsheet recalculate at the following times:
ImportRange: 30 minutes
ImportHtml, ImportFeed, ImportData, ImportXml: 1 hour
GoogleFinance: may be delayed up to 20 minutes

Opening the spreadsheet refreshes all the functions.
