Yesterday I “finished” Ramada e Caneças (Kevin Pels is running Ramada e Caneças, Lisboa - CityStrides), only to return home and upload my run and see that one measly road was incomplete. During the run on that street I encountered a locked gate that blocked access to the last few nodes as being part of a driveway private residence. I updated OSM accordingly and synced the municipality on CityStrides, which does indeed say it updated on December 18th, but the nodes remain private and I remain at 99.83% 
I wonder if there is a time lag in the sync between OSM and CS? Similar thing for me, I made some small additions, actually extending some streets on Tuesday in OSM, and then a regular update yesterday did not include those adds. But some other changes earlier in December were ok

Sorry forgot to include the street Quinta do Bretão - CityStrides Way: Quinta do Bretão (1079916431) | OpenStreetMap

Yeah, edits in OpenStreetMap need to flow into Overpass. This can take an amount of time. I can’t give an accurate estimate, but I do discard responses from Overpass if their data is older than 1 week.
It looks like the current delay is about an hour or so. Again, I have no control over this and cannot make any guarantees.
To address a later comment:
You don’t have to wait to add activities to CityStrides. When the update makes its way into CityStrides, relevant activities will automatically be reprocessed and progress will automatically get updated.

OK good to know, in the future I won’t make OSM edits and immediately sync the city, which is what I do for uploading runs to Runkeeper. In this instance I was just especially excited because I wanted it to be CityStrides 
official heh
Sure enough based on your reply I resynced the city and got the city completion email

Hi James,
Does this mean that when encountering streets that are private og closed in OpenStreetMap that I need to update the street in OSM first, then wait for some time before syncing my run with Straca/CitryStrides?
I have updated a lot of streets in december marking as closed/private or removed if the street is no longer present, Nordre Land, Innlandet - CityStrides
For instance this road:
Liesvegen - CityStrides
I’ve updated my comment above to address your question.
Thank you, I updated some roads in late december that still has not been updated in CityStrides.
For instance this road, where the map has been updated to reflect the road, but not the nodes
Is there some latency for “rural” municipalites perhaps?
When you look at the city page for Nordre Land you can see it was last updated from OSM on Dec 12, two months ago. So it really ought be updated soon, but it seems that updates have been very long due lately.
@JamesChevalier is there any delays in the updates now?
