OCSP stapling: automatic updates

Hello, 

nginx is not updating the ocsp response cache:

    This Update: Sep  5 08:36:32 2015 GMT
    Next Update: Sep  7 08:36:32 2015 GMT

It is 16:09, so the cache is 8h behind. 

How would you diagnose and solve this problem? 

A related question is the duration of the cache. 
The local server uses 2 days, as shown above. 
How would you change this duration to, say, 8 days?

This is an example of an 8 days cache:

>echo QUIT | openssl s_client -CAfile /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.pem -connect
ssllabs.com:443 -servername ssllabs.com -tlsextdebug -status 2>&1 | grep -A
17 'OCSP response:' | grep -B 17 'Next Update'
