Is City Sync using stale data?

I’ve made some OSM changes (one new street, some extra nodes to get round single node issue) but when have synced them they are not appearing.

e.g. I just tried to do a sync of Elmbridge (where had added a street) but says already has the available data.

A road that I marked unwalkable last week went away from cs but came back again this morning. The sync button has gone again too.

My OSM data now comes from Open Planet Data. Every day at 1am Eastern, the newly provided planet file is downloaded/filtered/loaded. This seems to take 1.5 - 2 hours. During the last amount of that (guesstimating at about 40minutes or so), city syncing is disabled.

If a city has already been synced with “today’s” data, another sync will not run - it will instead respond with “:tired_face: This city was already synced with the available data”.

So practically if I make an OSM update, how much later it is worth trying a CS city sync to pick it up?

PS right now 2300 UK time (GMT) it says too many jobs processing. Last few days it has mostly said that whenever I try.

After the next ~3am Eastern, because everything gets updated daily at 1am Eastern and the process takes 1.5 - 2 hours to complete.

Yeah, this is because one of the speed-ups I added ended up incorrectly missing some activities for processing after the sync. I had to remove that, and leave it in its slower state until I can come back and review it again.
Post syncing processing is slowing things down, and people are using the manual sync feature way more than they did before I started this project. :person_shrugging:

Thanks! The problem have had last few months is that the cities am doing haven’t seen an automatic update in what seems like months.
