I use helm as well, emacs-slack sets a bunch of timers, and I have 
a custom treemacs-based UI for emacs-slack that also refreshes on 
a timer.  A typical timer list looks like this:

(list-timers) 
              0.2s            - thread-list--timer-func 5.0s 
              - undo-auto--boundary-timer 5.1s            - 
              slack-ws-ping 5.1s            - slack-ws-ping 5.1s 
              - slack-ws-ping 5.2s            - slack-ws-ping 
              5.2s            - slack-ws-ping 
             35.6s      1m 0.0s trev/slack--refresh-cache 
  *           0.5s            - #f(compiled-function () 
  #<bytecode 0x1b49fd33ce7c2899> [eldoc-mode global-eldoc-mode 
  eldoc--supported-p (debug error) 
  eldoc-print-current-symbol-info message "eldoc error: %s" nil]) 
  *           0.5s            t #f(compiled-function () 
  #<bytecode 0xbaac23f6e8899> [jit-lock--antiblink-grace-timer 
  jit-lock-context-fontify]) *           0.5s      :repeat 
  blink-cursor-start *           1.0s            -
