Leaderboard positioning have problem

Hi Guys!
i have a problem with my game's leaderboard
my title id is : DA526

one of our users told us that he and his friends are playing the game and getting scores
but when they check leaderboard , they find out with different scores , they have same position!
i checked it on two devices and yeah it was true
for example 2 devices have exactly 3 Million score and their positions are in 2087 and if i play one level with one device and get my score higher , the score gets higher but both devices position are still at 2087

any help would be great
thanks

It is possible and by design. Based on Brendan's answer in the previous thread I have mentioned --the leaderboard provides a consistently reproducible position for each player, which is a reasonable estimate of their actual position, on a per-player basis. The position above 1000 is an estimated rank instead of precise one. Recalculating every position, for every player, each time any player in the game submits a score, would be incredibly expensive. That's why services that provide global leaderboards use estimation past a certain point in the leaderboard. Players are highly sensitive to position when they're near the top of a leaderboard. They're not when they're nowhere near the top.

I suggest you look into Brendan's detailed answer in the threads I have provided above.

Besides of the update latency of Leaderboard because Statistics is a shared resource, there are many other reasons may result in this issue. You may refer to Wrong leaderboard position - Playfab Community and Leaderboard positions wrong / duplicated when viewing multiple leaderboards - Playfab Community.

In addition, would you also share the callback result of GetLeaderboardAroundPlayer API? Have the Players in position 2086 and 2088 changed after the update?

Thanks for answering @SethDu

these are two device i was talking about (i played a little and positions are not same as i told you)

FYI -> in my game i sum positions with 1

{
    "code": 200,
    "status": "OK",
    "data": {
        "Leaderboard": [
            {
                "PlayFabId": "7C543AC7BF493E09",
                "StatValue": 3707651,
                "Position": 2112,
                "Profile": {
                    "PublisherId": "CA60F9DDCCD96310",
                    "TitleId": "DA526",
                    "PlayerId": "7C543AC7BF493E09"
                }
            },
            {
                "PlayFabId": "3DA778EA5D058919",
                "DisplayName": "yosiiiiiiiii",
                "StatValue": 3707006,
                "Position": 2113,
                "Profile": {
                    "PublisherId": "CA60F9DDCCD96310",
                    "TitleId": "DA526",
                    "PlayerId": "3DA778EA5D058919",
                    "DisplayName": "yosiiiiiiiii"
                }
            },
            {
                "PlayFabId": "7C044E8F71678277",
                "StatValue": 3706506,
                "Position": 2114,
                "Profile": {
                    "PublisherId": "CA60F9DDCCD96310",
                    "TitleId": "DA526",
                    "PlayerId": "7C044E8F71678277"
                }
            }
        ],
        "Version": 0
    }
}

and this is the postman log for getleaderboardarounduser as you see "yosiiiiiii" is me with correct position and my other device is not there

and when i searched my other device with postman this will happen:

{
    "code": 200,
    "status": "OK",
    "data": {
        "Leaderboard": [
            {
                "PlayFabId": "984903A8AD179865",
                "StatValue": 3702848,
                "Position": 2112,
                "Profile": {
                    "PublisherId": "CA60F9DDCCD96310",
                    "TitleId": "DA526",
                    "PlayerId": "984903A8AD179865"
                }
            },
            {
                "PlayFabId": "C821B435A2A0476",
                "DisplayName": "Useeef",
                "StatValue": 3700277,
                "Position": 2113,
                "Profile": {
                    "PublisherId": "CA60F9DDCCD96310",
                    "TitleId": "DA526",
                    "PlayerId": "C821B435A2A0476",
                    "DisplayName": "Useeef"
                }
            },
            {
                "PlayFabId": "8CFD19CA01184EC7",
                "DisplayName": "memafa",
                "StatValue": 3699845,
                "Position": 2114,
                "Profile": {
                    "PublisherId": "CA60F9DDCCD96310",
                    "TitleId": "DA526",
                    "PlayerId": "8CFD19CA01184EC7",
                    "DisplayName": "memafa"
                }
            }
        ],
        "Version": 0
    }
}

and as you see my other device "Useeef" is there with correct position but my first device is not there
