The described technology is directed towards maintaining a cache of data items, with cached data items having current value subsets and next value subsets. The cache is accessed for data item requests, to return a cache miss if a requested data item is not cached, to return data from the current value subset if not expired, to return data from the next value subset if the current value subset is expired and the next value subset is not expired, or to return a cache miss (or expired data) if both subsets are expired. Cached data items are refreshed, (e.g., periodically), when a data item's current value subset is expired by replacing the data item's current value subset with the next value subset and caching a new next value subset, or caching a new next value subset when the next value subset will expire within a threshold time.
