Am I the only one suffering from this? I have a sub that is still being processed even after nearly 30 minutes

This is discouraging, around 1 hour. Maybe Zindi should take action

i think it is an issue with the cache of the site not just the evaluation issue, i got a submission that says evaluating after 2 hours but when i login on another device it was already evaluated but on my original device even refreshing the page still shows evaluating. @AJoel

Hi @Koleshjr thanks for the feedback. We are looking into what we can do to improve the scoring time - will keep you posted!

My scores are taking about an hour now, seems a little better!

I doubt the issue is resolved; the behavior remains highly inconsistent. This is a current submission that has been scoring for over three hours.

Yeah, for the afternoon submission, I have been waiting 4 hours

Scoring times are inconsistent, ranging from about 20 minutes to roughly 3 hours. This is from my latest waiting session:

We’ve heard you loud and clear on submission processing times 🐢 Good news: we’ve been busy optimising one of the error metrics, and a speed boost is landing tomorrow 🚀 Thanks for your patience - and for keeping us on our toes!

I thought I was the only one experiencing this.
