Yeah, it's OK to take time. Just knowing that DDB is THE correct source for information is good. Otherwise you first have to figure out which printing of PHB you have and then combine parts of errata AND the Sage Advice compendium into it. I have started using DDB as my main source of information about everything 5E-related.
As far as I understand then the rules about long rest and how the elves' Trance works were the most significant changes with the latest update linked by JRedmond.
Yes, there will be errors, omissions and/or updates but as soon as they are delivered/reported I would say that the update should be applied within 48 hours. Personally considering the price I paid for the Legendary bundle and the Master subscription.

This would certainly be nice, although these changes have happened to this point without warning to us, so it makes it impossible.
The original files we digitized unfortunately didn't reflect these recent changes, so we have many updates for many sources. This will improve over time now that it's understood how beneficial it is for WotC to loop us into this process.

That doesn't make any kind of sense. I paid nearly twice as much for the physical books and they'll never be updated.
They're working on getting an implementing the updates, but your idea isn't reasonable.

Well, one of the selling points was "official digital toolset for D&D" and elaborated many times that it wasn't just "pdf's online". So the expectation of the digital toolset to be up to date to the latest official rulings isn't that far-fetched.
I originally raised the topic because I'd love there to be "one true source even if slightly later updated" for the official rules. The question came up the next day after the elf trance/long rest errata update and my group has a whole bunch of various elves that got excited about it.
But it's all good, seems to be work in progress now and I assume we'll get an update at some point.

We are not talking about a PHYSICAL book. Fixing errata in digitally based Beyond is a VERY different situation. I'm talking about a data base on a bunch of servers feeding our browsers. To fix an error someone logs in, makes the change, and logs out. DONE.
Here is a what if scenario:
Reports of errors arrives in the errata board.
If there were 30 errors reported in one day (VERY UNLIKELY) and the person(s) in charge had 3 hours over the 48 hour period to check and verify and fix the alleged errors that would give the editors 180 minutes or 6 minutes per error. Plenty of time to sign in, access the data, retype the correct data, sign out and get back to the party! DONE.
The fix is GLOBAL and instant. Not a physical book. It's just zeros and ones. This is part of the reason Beyond exists. It's infinitely easier to update and costs MUCH less to distribute.
Curse doesn't have to print a book, warehouse it, ship it and HOPE they don't have to do a major errata fix.
Once again: Beyond is on a server! It is ALWAYS in stock and the data can be reliable because it's digitally delivered from a single source. Got an error - Fix THE source - and EVERYONE gets the right data! Cool!
What's the timeframe of new rules updates from WotC reaching DDB compendium?
I'd be interested in this too, they just updated the errata and it's not reflected in D&D Beyond.

I tag this as Bug for the staff to see, but please, understand that probably it takes some time to see all the errata to be updated.

when ever a new update comes out with updated rules for the 7th printing of the PHB, will the digital content here reflect that change?
refering to this as an example
