APScheduler update database only once - postgresql

Question

I'm trying to get APScheduler to update in my Flask app the Postgresql database every 5 minutes, but the database is only updated the first time, all subsequent times the changes are not saved. APScheduler itself works correctly, and if the function of updating the database is replaced with the function of displaying text, then everything works correctly every time.
In my app im using Flask-SQLAlchemy:
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql+psycopg2://postgres:name#localhost/name'
The APScheduler code looks like this:
from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler
sched = BlockingScheduler(daemon=True)
sched.add_job(func=update, trigger='interval', minutes=5)
sched.start()
The database update function looks like this:
def update():
for i in data:
for row in Names.query:
if row.id == i['id']:
row.name = i['name']
row.gender = i['gender']
row.age = i['age']
db.session.commit()
In the logs, APScheduler always works successfully. I also looked at the Postgresql logs, where I found this phrase: 'An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.'
I suspect it might be the database engine and sessions, but I haven't found the instructions I need to implement within the Flask-SQLAlchemy package.
Versions of pacages:
Flask-SQLAlchemy==2.4.1
SQLAlchemy==1.3.17
APScheduler==3.6.3
db Model:
class Names(db.Model):
__searchable__ = ['name', 'age']
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
name = db.Column(db.String(40))
gender = db.Column(db.String(40))
age = db.Column(db.Numeric)
def __repr__(self):
return '<Names %r>' % self.id

I think I figured out what the problem is. APScheduler somehow caches the contents of a variable the first time it is used and then only uses that value.
Before the function, I have the following code:
request = requests.get('https://privateapi')
data = request.json()
Then the function takes data from data:
def update():
for i in data:
for row in Names.query:
if row.id == i['id']:
row.name = i['name']
row.gender = i['gender']
row.age = i['age']
db.session.commit()
According to the Flask-SQLAlchemy logs, the data is written to the database successfully. I tried adding to the print (data) function so that every 5 minutes it would show me the contents of the data variable and I saw that its contents were not updated.
It turns out that the data is written to the database, but with the same values, so I don't see its update.
Then I tried shortening the request path and not saving its content to a variable:
def update():
for i in requests.get('https://privateapi').json():
for row in Names.query:
if row.id == i['id']:
row.name = i['name']
row.gender = i['gender']
row.age = i['age']
db.session.commit()
But here again nothing has changed.
UPDATE:
I solved this problem by removing the data variable at the end of the function:
def update():
name = requests.get('https://privateapi').json()
for i in name:
for row in Names.query:
if row.id == i['id']:
row.name = i['name']
row.gender = i['gender']
row.age = i['age']
del name
db.session.commit()
