Cards not updating if information changes.

[Lekesoldat]

Describe the bug
Images loaded in the README does not update.

Expected behavior
When I delete files / add code / do changes, my stats should update.

Screenshots / Live demo link (paste the github-readme-stats link as markdown image)
Have a look at my profile, - stats are not updated.

Additional context
Read more here. It's a problem due to caching.

Server should send cache headers stating that cache should be turned off or very time limited.

[anuraghazra]

Github readme stat uses minimum of 30min caching, and it's expected behaviour.

We should pin this issue or some other similar one, as people have reported it multiple times already

I think its ok we don't need to that, maybe we can add notes on common issues in the issue template itself.

[pandyaved98]

MY GitHub read me stats isn't updating. I've created a new repo and committed some files in it but it's still showing the same as before no increment in numbers.

[nombrekeff]

@pandyaved98 hey there!

As the issue and docs indicate, there is a cache in place, I don't know how long it is currently. But it should reflect the changes in some time.

Note on cache: Repo cards have a default cache of 4 hours (14400 seconds) if the fork count & star count is less than 1k, otherwise, it's 2 hours (7200 seconds). Also, note that the cache is clamped to a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 24 hours.

[danglequocbao001]

My github read me stats updated, but when I display it by html in read me on github it not update same as go to the link by direct

[thedocscripts]

have the same issue

[rickstaa]

We use caching to decrease the server load. Due to high server loads, the caching time has recently been updated to 4 hours in 9d2bfd9.

Honestly, its been quite few days I've_ been using this stat card, and it has never once updated since then. Please look into the issue, or at least tell us how to update it even if its manual. Thanks

[rickstaa]

@sanjanastyles I checked your account using the graphql explorer and it looks the card is up to date. You can check this yourself in the [graphql explorer](graphql explorer). The following syntax:

query userInfo($login: String!) {
  user(login: $login) {
    name
    login
    contributionsCollection {
      totalCommitContributions
      restrictedContributionsCount
    }
    repositoriesContributedTo(
      first: 1
      contributionTypes: [COMMIT, ISSUE, PULL_REQUEST, REPOSITORY]
    ) {
      totalCount
    }
    pullRequests(first: 1) {
      totalCount
    }
    openIssues: issues(states: OPEN) {
      totalCount
    }
    closedIssues: issues(states: CLOSED) {
      totalCount
    }
    followers {
      totalCount
    }
    repositories(
      first: 100
      ownerAffiliations: OWNER
      orderBy: {direction: DESC, field: STARGAZERS}
    ) {
      totalCount
      nodes {
        stargazers {
          totalCount
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

[KimeriTenko]

Mine stopped updating weeks ago and I've added new repos since

[rickstaa]

@KimeriTenko Thanks for your comment. Please be aware that we are using a 4-hour cache time before results show up (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gradient-in-bg_color). I checked your cards, but the results look up to date:

[vaishnav-kreeda]

GitHub Stats as it is since added in README

[BeatrizARibeiro]

My GitHub read me Stats not updtating

[vaishnav-kreeda]

My GitHub read me Stats not updtating

GitHub read me stats updates after 12 am

[rickstaa]

@BeatrizARibeiro @vaishnav-mandlik is right we use a caching mechanism to reduce the server load (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#common-options).

[thaisalesz]

I'm having a similar issue, one of my cards is not showing any information for a few days now, but if I open de link directly it seems to be working fine.

[rickstaa]

@thaisalesz Thanks for your question. I checked your card and your stats seem to be updated. You can check this by using the following syntax in the GraphQL explorer:

query userInfo($login: String!) {
  user(login: $login) {
    name
    login
    contributionsCollection {
      totalCommitContributions
      restrictedContributionsCount
    }
  }
}

{"login": "thaisalesz"}

[![Anurag's GitHub stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=thaisalesz)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)

I think you are experiencing the problem because we use a min caching period of 4 hours (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#common-options). Every update, therefore, takes 4 hours to be visible on the card. I created #2266 to allow users to set lower values for their own Vercel instances.

[sban2009]

Hi @rickstaa I have 2 repos using JS. The link is opening up to the correct stats but in my README, it is not showing. Any suggestions?

@sban2009 we use caching to reduce the server load. Your README will likely update in 4 hours (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#common-options).

[sban2009]

@rickstaa added one of the JS ones a long time back

[rickstaa]

@sban2009 I checked the results we retrieved from GitHub, and it looks like your card is correct. You can test it out yourself using the following syntax in the GraphQL API:

query userInfo($login: String!) {
  user(login: $login) {
    # fetch only owner repos & not forks
    repositories(ownerAffiliations: OWNER, isFork: false, first: 100) {
      nodes {
        name
        languages(first: 10, orderBy: {field: SIZE, direction: DESC}) {
          edges {
            size
            node {
              color
              name
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

{"login": "sban2009"}

The https://github.com/sban2009/carbon-tutorial results do not show up since it is a fork, and we currently do not include results of forks (see #1255).

[KimeriTenko]

Thank you for taking a look at it

@mrv8x No problem you can your stats yourself in the GraphQL explorer using the following syntax:

query userInfo($login: String!) {
  user(login: $login) {
    name
    login
    contributionsCollection {
      totalCommitContributions
      restrictedContributionsCount
    }
  }
}

{"login": "mrv8x"}

or for the language card:

query userInfo($login: String!) {
  user(login: $login) {
    # fetch only owner repos & not forks
    repositories(ownerAffiliations: OWNER, isFork: false, first: 100) {
      nodes {
        name
        languages(first: 10, orderBy: {field: SIZE, direction: DESC}) {
          edges {
            size
            node {
              color
              name
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

{"login": "mrv8x"}

You can add a random parameter (i.e. radfasf&arasfda) to force the cache to reset.

@Edmartt I checked your profile and detected that most of your contributions are private. Most likely it is the source of your problem. Query parameter count_private was recently removed (#2736) due to it's confusing behaviour and to include your private contributions you should deploy you own vercel instance using own GitHub API token.

Looks like a Vercel API error. I think you should wait a bit and try again 🤔. The Vercel status can be found here.

It was solved, I forgot about forking the repo, thanks.

I know the caching time is 4 hours or so, but the data just stopped updating some time while ago. The commits are stuck at 155 but when I counted mine (including priv repos), its 271. I just created a new vercel instance and it's not updated either

[qwerty541]

@0x5b62656e5d It is not an erro from our side since it is exactly what GitHub API returns.

If commits count not changed after deploying own vercel instance most likely your GitHub API personal access token permissions was configured not correctly.

[SakshamShandilya]

Hello @rickstaa, I'm experiencing the same problem; it's not updating and displaying significantly low statistics.

[rickstaa]

Hello @rickstaa, I'm experiencing the same problem; it's not updating and displaying significantly low statistics.

Hey @SakshamShandilya. We use caching to decrease server load, so it might take up to 6 hours for your stats to be visible on the cards (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats?tab=readme-ov-file#important-notices-). Furthermore, due to upstream limitations, we currently don't include data from forks and organization repositories 😅 (see #3109 and #1). You can use the GraphQL queries at #275 (comment) to see if something else is happening. I hope this helps you. If you have any more questions feel free to let me know 👍🏻.

Facing same issue here...lots of Javascript files in my repo https://github.com/Soumilgit/YourStory-Digital-Innovation-Hackathon-HackerEarth but the total proportion of Javascript in the languages card of the repo itself is showing Javascript proportion as 11.7 % only,even on visually checking the files,it seems to be higher(inside node_modules).Please help!

Hey @Soumilgit. By default langauges usage percentages calculation based on bytes count, therefore it means the total size of HTML files in your repository in significantly higher than the size of Javascript files, not depending from the files count.

OK,fine 👍
