Thanks a lot, @stgm, setting the `src` attribute to trigger a reload works fine!

Now I’ve made this Stimulus.js controller:

```javascript
// app/javascript/controllers/refresh_controller.js
import { Controller } from "stimulus"

export default class extends Controller {
  static values = {
    src: String
  }

  connect() {
    this.timeout = setTimeout(() => {
      this.element.setAttribute('src', this.srcValue)
    }, 5000);
  }

  disconnect() {
    clearTimeout(this.timeout)
  }
}

```

Usage in a Rails partial:

```auto
<%= turbo_frame_tag 'stats', 
      data: { controller: 'refresh', refresh_src_value: request.path } do %>
  <p>Updated content</p>
<% end %>

```
