Syncing Thunderbird calendar with Google Calendar

Thunderbird v 141.0 64 bit on Windows 11 Hope you can help. I have my main Thunderbird calendar synced with a Google calendar. When I created the sync, the Thunderbird calendar was populated with all the events in the Google Calendar. When I created a new event in the Google Calendar, it appeared in the Thunderbird calendar. When I deleted a recurring event (that originally created in the Google calendar) from the Thunderbird calendar, it was deleted in the Google calendar. All good! But I have created multiple events in the Thunderbird calendar, but they are not appearing in the Google calendar.

Any thoughts? Thank you so much. Best, Stuart

Are they still missing after you manually force a synchronization? The default sync period is 60 min.

Thank you for responding! They are still missing after forcing a sync and it's now been several hours since entering the events. Stuart

How was the calendar added to TB, with an add-on or the built-in CalDAV? I just added an event to my CalDAV calendar and it instantly synced with my phone.

I am new to Thunderbird and just worked through the menus to add the calendar. I don't remember "CalDAV" as an option, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. I may try deleting the calendar and adding it again, or even reinstalling Thunderbird and starting over. Thanks again for your help!
