I only have Chase Credit Card accounts that need this other method, so I
can't say how it works with other accounts. I haven't happened to notice
whether or it actually respects the date you select, but I suspect it
does as it seems to take longer and longer (which is how I noticed that
it was not updating in the first place).

Indeed, this works as expected when you do one at a time.
