Uploaded Rich Presence assets not immediately accessible

[philipjscott]

Description

Whenever I upload a Rich Presence asset on the developer site, it takes roughly 10 minutes for the asset to become accessible (e.g. listed in the asset list, accessible from the Discord RPC API)

Here's a post on the Discord support forum that is probably related.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications
2. Select your application
3. Go to "Rich Presence" > "Art assets"
4. Upload an asset
5. Refresh the page

Expected Behavior

Uploaded asset should appear in the asset list after refreshing the page. The uploaded asset should also be accessible from the Discord RPC API.

Current Behavior

The uploaded asset does not appear and is inaccessible from the Discord RPC API for roughly 10 minutes after upload.

Client and System Information

Browser: Chromium
Version: 86.0.4240.111 (Official Build) Arch Linux (64-bit)
OS: i use arch btw (i -Syu every day 👏)

Can reproduce and DAPI has had several complaints of it not working for other people either.

This is not really a bug, so I've reclassified this as a feature request. We intentionally cache these assets heavily. It's possible down the road we will change/improve this behavior.

Then, the delay should be fixed to exactly 1800 seconds, to allow for propagation but make the actual read recovery time impossible to guess.

I see. Ideally there's some sort of indicator in the UI that notifies the user that "X asset is being cached, and will be available soon".

iirc they showed immediately until it stopped working sometime last year, was that an intentional change?

I was facing the same thing. But if it's a feature then okay!

what? No this is entirely a bug. Its not that the assets dont update night... its that they dont appear at all when you first upload. How can you cache "nothingness"?

This use to behave just fine. Something has changed along the line and broken the application page.

i agree and see this as a problem too
it's just annoying having to wait several minutes before being able to use assets although you can live with it in my opinion

it's more of an issue for new developers as there is no indication why or how long assets will be missing. This results in uploading the same asset multiple times and having to delete the extra ones afterwards. But if you delete one too much you'll have to upload and wait again...

Bruh. Because I didn't see the asset uploaded, I kept uploading the same thing until suddenly now I have three of the same asset. When I tried to remove the asset, it gave me

Could not access 'message' of undefined

Although, several minutes later it works.

This is still an occurring issue.

it's considered not a bug
