API call users.setStatus does not trigger status update of clients

[stylefish]

Description:

when calling user.setStatus via API the status of the user is correctly reflected to himself but it does not update for others until the user.setStatus method is called again or the other client is reloaded.

Steps to reproduce:

1. call REST API user.SetStatus with a status other than the current, i used the following payload to set another users status:

{
	"status": "busy",
	"message":"",
	"userId": "ABCDE"
}

the status is then update for the user user directly:

but not for others, for them "max" (ABCDE) is online:

when i change "message" in another request afterwards and keep the status the same, all clients get refreshed.
payload:

{
	"status": "busy",
	"message":"1",
	"userId": "ABCDE"
}

this behavior is reproducible every time.

Expected behavior:

When the status is changed via API the UI of others should reflect that.

Actual behavior:

The UI of others is unchanged until the client is restarted or the page is refreshed
