I’m not the tools team, and I cannot answer the question in general.
(I seem to remember the answer used to be: hourly.)
Right now, the last additions are dated 2020-08-17 07:00Z, e.g.:

reference.I-D.corcoran-cnsa-ipsec-profile.xml

The most recent I-D I can find is: draft-ietf-bier-tether-00.txt

Datatracker does have the libxml:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/bibxml3/draft-ietf-bier-tether/xml

Protip:

curl https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/bibxml3/draft-ietf-bier-tether/xml -o ~/.cache/xml2rfc/reference.I-D.ietf-bier-tether.xml

(And set:
export KRAMDOWN_REFCACHEDIR=$HOME/.cache/xml2rfc
in your ~/.profile to get that same cache in kramdown-rfc as well.)

Grüße, Carsten
