How long for Leaderboard board Archive log to be available?

Hi,

We have a leaderboard that's reset every month, and we'd like to give players a reward and show them the rank they've achieved in the last "season".

However, we've hit a wall because it seems some data in the leaderboard either take too much time to be available as an Archive log, or they simply are never archived correctly. For example, we've reset the leaderboard on september 1st, but some Statistics are still not available as an Archive log, and it shows up as "In progress" when we try calling the version number with the API. Which is strange, since there is other Statistics that are actually archived correctly with the same setup.

Is there any setup steps or limits that we might have missed?

Thank you!

Generally speaking, the time for availability in S3 should only be a few minutes, though for a very large user base (millions of entries) it's technically possible that it could be up to 15 minutes or so. Can you please provide the Title ID and Statistic Name for the leaderboard in question?

We don't have that many users since we're still beta testing. Our TitleID is 9B8D. Statistic name for one that has not been archived yet is : TotalCups, one that has been working is : CUPS

Any update on this issue? We still cannot see any Archive logs on the TotalCups statistics. Thanks

Side question, but how would we go around to actually giving rewards to the players? Since the Archive log is only available through the PlayFabAdmin, and we don't want to give the client access to it, what would be the best way to go about actually giving the rewards when the user logs back after the season ends? Thank you

In general, the leaderboard archive is intended for you to use for any post-reset evaluation you need to do. What some titles are doing, in order to do rewards in real-time, is to use 2 statistics, and rotate between them. That way, you can query the "previous" stats while having the new version to write to for updated scores. We're also looking at making a change in a future update to make the most recently archived leaderboard query-able, but if you need to ship soon, I'd go with the multiple stats mechanism.

Ok thanks for the answer, we are already doing something like that for the number of points the player has, but we also wanted to know the final Rank of the user in the leaderboard. What would be the best way to go about doing that?

We can't let the user save his own rank, since it's going to change when he's away, and the leaderboard is already archived when he comes back, so the only way we could see is through the Archived log of the previous leaderboard as mentionned.

Thanks
