There isn't anything FFF can do about this. Best solution, wait a while (30m?) before updating when you get a notification.
I noticed this happens with the RSS feed sometimes. It's a bit annoying because the updates still have the old date and I sort by date, so they get a bit buried.

Just curious, what exactly does FFF use to determine there's an update? The number of chapters, date (note that AO3 lets authors set arbitrary dates—I did this when crossposting my older ffnet fics), a combination of both, or it depends on the adapter?
