Title:
  updates should be listed immediately after checking

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS is on my spare laptop, so I hadn't used the OS in
  about two weeks, which is when I had last updated it. I do not use the
  update feature that requires logging in when I'm in an insecure
  environment for password use. I was about to use the laptop again, so
  I checked for updates and Ubuntu said there was nothing new. I put it
  to sleep and woke it about 30-60 minutes later, somewhere else, where
  my session time could be short. When I logged into a WiFi network, a
  dialog said there are updates and asked if I want them now.

  What I expect: If there is an update at a Ubuntu server or mirror,
  Ubuntu will say so when asked, not only half an hour later.

  Of course, it's possible that when I check there is no update but if I
  check half an hour later there will be an update. That's a different
  situation and completely acceptable. But if telling me that there's an
  update will take half an hour, tell me that it'll take a while, but
  don't tell me right away that there's nothing.

  This event happened in late May. I saw the list of packages but don't
  know which one applies. No crash occurred on my platform. The dialog
  from ubuntu-bug had nothing relevant to an update (I understand
  upgrade is different), so I selected Other, resulting in nothing
  informative. ubuntu-bug --help didn't lead to an answer, either.
