Unable to sync cites?

Message

I’ve started running some new cities and had to make some edits to cover private roads and driveways, but now I notice that I no longer have the option to sync new cities. Did the button move, or is there a new process now? I don’t need anything immediately, but I’d like to eventually sync the new updates.

Sadly manual city syncing is currently disabled site-wide as per the below:

The adjustment I made to address some memory issues in step 4 has made things way slower. I no longer have an estimated time of re-enabling city syncs.

Yeah, I paused things for a test with London. That test ran for almost a week, and then my server ran out of memory overnight. Two failed syncs for London in a row. :anxious_face_with_sweat: :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

I have some database maintenance to do tonight that will come with a little downtime. I’ll either re-enable city syncing after that’s done, or I’ll re-enable it tomorrow morning.

OK, I was able to re-enable this a moment ago.

Awesome! Any chance we could also have an option of queing up syncs? I tend to spend a lot of time waiting to get a slot when I need to sync a city, and realistically I could let it sit for a week or two before syncing. I think a priority scheme of syncs could be helpful here. Kick me out of the queue if a sync already occured in a month, but if there’s new edits then let it fit in wherever makes sense. Any chance we could get something like that?

Still generally unable to sync. I am getting sort of close (208 streets to go, but they’re all either big or difficult) to finishing my county, but it’s getting hard to remember which ones I have already fixed in OSM, and a couple of times, I have gone all the way out to a single street in a distant village, only to find that it’s one that I marked as private and gated months ago. I would love to finish the county this year, but it’s difficult with this.

Looks like sync is disabled again. Id still like to suggest the ability to queue citie syncs. I don’t need an immediate sync, but it would be nice to know what I can have something synced in the next day or two.

When do you think syncing will be back up and running?
