Troubleshooting • Issues with auto-refresh in kiosk mode Raspberry Pi 5

Hi everyone, fairly new here but was wondering if could help provide a solution to my issue.
I currently have a raspberry pi 5 that I have set to boot to chromium -> cloud excel page.

I followed some guides on here but could not find a solution

So here's where I'm currently at.
I have edited /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart with the following:I created a script named refresh.sh and added the following:I then made them executable with the following:
I then proceeded to edit crontab by using the followingI then placed the following inside of crontab:
Side Note: If my login is "admin" would the directory be /home/admin/refresh.sh? Either way I did try with both variations independently and they both did not work:
In turn, the raspberry pi boots into Kiosk mode with no issues. However it just does not refresh and after a good amount of the time, it seems the webpage will idle and when I plug in a keyboard and press any key, it refresh auto-matically.

Another question is, does it have to be Ctrl + F5 or does any key work?
