I've been working on the Refiner badge. In the past 24 to 36 hours I've answered four questions (and my answers received upvotes, giving each a positive score) and I also edited these question within 12 hours of posting the answer (usually a few minutes).

However, my Refiner score in the progress indicator in my profile hasn't ticked upward. I'm wondering why not?

    Caching probably. The badge counts are updated periodically, not instantly.

  • @MartijnPieters What's the longest caching could take?

    Also note that tag edits do not count towards the badge; 3 of your 4 question edits were only touching the tags.

    I'd say a day, with the script running once every 24 hours or so.

The numbers are not updated in real time, they are cached. Wait a day and the number will go up eventually.

Note that only one of your edits over on Chemistry counts towards the badge; edits that only change the tags of the question are not eligible.
