Just curious how this works:

My Stack Overflow reputation on my Stack Overflow CV shows an amount X, which is less than my actual Stack Overflow reputation Y. It's been this way for a few days. In addition, some of my 'favorite answers' on my CV have a lower # of votes than they do in reality.

How long does it take for this (I assume cached) value to be updated?

Short Version: Yeah, we're out of date. I'm working over the next couple of days to stabilize the updates process.

How it works: Essentially, we slurp down all the data we need to keep your accounts and answers up to date from the public API every day and what I originally wrote during our mad dash to the finish line is a little error prone. Couple that with the search rewrite I had to do to fix this and I just haven't gotten to shoring it up yet. It'll stabilize over the next week and updates should only lag by about a day.

  • I'm wondering the same thing. It's been over a week since my Careers rep updated.

  • @Calvin guess not relevant by now, but anyway this is most likely due to bug with the account, merging etc, better start a new bug report here on MSE.
