I have a question with respect to how long it takes for merit sends to be disply

I have a question with respect to how long it takes for merit sends to be displayed on users profile and added to the count. Don't know how simple to put this, but I hope it's clear.

From this thread @Mia Chloe Gave the user merit, which once I came in contact with the thread, I noticed it, but it was not reflecting on the user's merit count thought it was just done immediately and needed some seconds before it reflected, but I observed it had been done over a minute but reflection took more time, the only thing I have observed before is receiving merit but it take longer time for me to be notified by the bot which it’s a third party service provider. It might seem like little to nothing, but I like to learn.

It doesn't have a particular time span it's just a couple of minutes. Once the forum cache generally refreshes then it displays. It's also quite similar to what happens with avatars only signatures take a way more longer time that's if you wore something different for a very long period of time.

Max of around 5 to 10 mins should get it done. It doesn't really matter and it doesn't mean something is actually wrong. That bot scrapes Data within a particular time span so until it receives a data dump from the forum client you won't get any notification.

I think the time varies. It's not something that has a fixed time interval, I have noticed it reflecting early and other times slow when meriting others especially.

Same opinion with the two comments above but on a personal level I have found this too happening a few times, before now not sure I used to notice it, until maybe recent, though I understand it usually takena little seconds to reflect before now but it seems like it's now so dull than before just like the avaters, it usually used to just reflect immediately you refreshed the page but recently I noticed even if one has changed it still remains the same with a little message for the delay which is understandable but for merits just seem like the cache is not fast as before or something.
