Leaderboard update times are very unreliable

Yesterday evening (about 21.00 UTC) it took almost 10 minutes from a statistic was submitted until it got on the leaderboard (*).


Last week it was bad a few days in a row.

But, right now it works fine ... it only takes a few seconds :)



(*) The player's statistic got updated immediately, but the leaderboard only noticed it much much later.

Hi, according to the feedback from our product team, it is possible for leaderboard updates to lag statistic updates by a noticeable period of time. This is usually caused by overall delays in PlayStream. Such occurrences should be rare and are closely monitored. There have been two incidents where PlayStream was delayed in the last week, but neither were anywhere close to 10 minutes. If you are seeing prolonged, regular periods of time where leaderboard updates are lagging, we'll need to know more specifics, which players, exact time, which statistics, etc.

Thanks :)

We've experienced the same problem with all the four leaderboards.

Also note that the game will be released soon.

Hi, have you been able to find or seen reports of repeated long delays in event processing over multiple time periods? If so, please inform us to investigate, if not, I am sure it was a occasional issue which you should not worry about.

I observed a similar delay on June 4, between 10:30am and noon Eastern Time. The UpdatePlayerStatistics call was successful, but the leaderboard did not reflect the new values for ~40 minutes. The next day it happened again, with a ~5 minute delay. In both cases it went back to normal after a while.

The PlayFab status report shows 100% uptime for those days.

Are the update times monitored and reported? is there a SLO? Is there anything I could do on my end?
