How do you update time with set_time() more than once?

I would like to use a GSM module to update the time on my MAX32620FTHR periodically, let's say once every minute, and use this value. However when I use set_time() it only works the first time it's called. Any future calls do not update the time or reset it. I tried looking up an explanation of how set_time() works in the documentation but could not find anything which describes why I'm having this problem. Can you only call set_time() once in your program? Any suggestions on how to use set_time() repeatedly in a program would be very helpful. Thanks in advance for any advice people can give.
