USER Daily Stats download TimeStamp shift?

Post by cine.chris »

I happened to notice that the Time Header on the User Donor Stats has shifted.
Change occurred 2/10
Was there a reason for the change?
+6 would match CST, but +5 would be EST for the US EOD (end-of-day)

The stats download timestamp and update times appear to be in a constant state of drift.
It's now Wed Feb 24 23:57:53 GMT 2021

These should be occurring at a relatively fixed period, right?

They SHOULD be at a constant update time every hour, but that hasn't been the case for several months, if not longer. At one point, we could reliably count on the update being at 50 minutes past the hour.

Well, the updates have stalled again.
They were gaining ~3.6min/day based on the data from the timestamp tracker I built.
I know they had switched to a 3hr update somewhere in the past and I was excited to see them updating hourly.
I even build a nice phone-friendly page around the opportunity to have more frequent updates....

It just feels like 2020 has spilled over into 2021.

Yes. Happy to see the new page project recovered gracefully, showing the combined daily stats for the missing EOD end-of-day. This was the result of the decision to retain each hourly update, seemed like a good idea at the time... now I see the 'why'.

Timestamps, since the restart, have drifted about 3 minutes, settling in at 52:25 initially, currently 55:09.
So, it appears, the drift of ~3.6min/day that I was seeing, is still occurring.
