It sounds like you want to know what is triggering the historical data downloads. This is explained here in relation to Intraday data:
Historical Intraday Data (Missing Data / Download Errors / Viewing More Data): Retrying Downloading of Intraday Data

We also see this in the Message Log which does cause a reconnection to the data feed under certain conditions but this is not a common occurrence:

Sierra Chart account data changed. Requesting updated account information. | 2020-04-30 19:13:47.761



Have a look at these variables and functions:
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.ServerConnectionState

ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.IsChartDataLoadingCompleteForAllCharts()

ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.ChartIsDownloadingHistoricalData()

You really do have to check for the downloading of historical data every time the study function is called if you need to be aware of that.
