We present the analysis of new, deep $Chandra$ observations (130~ks) of thegalaxy cluster Abell~2495. This object is known for the presence of a tripleoffset between the peaks of the intracluster medium (ICM), the brightestcluster galaxy (BCG), and the warm gas glowing in H$\alpha$ line. The new$Chandra$ data confirm that the X-ray emission peak is located at a distance of$\sim$6.2 kpc from the BCG, and at $\sim$3.9 kpc from the H$\alpha$ emissionpeak. Moreover, we identify two generations of X-ray cavities in the ICM,likely inflated by the central radio galaxy activity. Through a detailedmorphological and spectral analysis we determine that the power of the AGNoutbursts ($P_{cav} = 4.7\pm1.3\times10^{43}$~erg~s$^{-1}$) is enough tocounterbalance the radiative losses from ICM cooling ($L_{cool} =5.7\pm0.1\times10^{43}$~erg~s$^{-1}$). This indicates that, despite afragmented cooling core, Abell~2495 still harbors an effective feedback cycle.We argue that the offsets are most likely caused by sloshing of the ICM,supported by the presence of spiral structures and a probable cold front in thegas at $\sim$58 kpc east of the center. Ultimately, we find that the outburstinterval between the two generations of X-ray cavities is of the order of thedynamical sloshing timescale, as already hinted from the previous $Chandra$snapshot. We thus speculate that sloshing may be able to regulate thetimescales of AGN feedback in Abell~2495, by periodically fuelling the centralAGN.
