Lets say I got to index data from a week ago, and I use a schedule of 5 minutes in JDB input, and the data of a week cant be indexed in those 5 minutes, the data ingestion will be stopped at five minutes, and start again with a new last value? or will stop only when there is no more data in the database

The query will execute until it is completed. It neither knows nor cares whether the plugin wants to run another query.

So the last value will only update when I get all the data up until today?

If the data is sorted by timestamp then yes, the last value will be the last one to get indexed.
