When will the leaderboard update? It hasn't for nearly 70 minutes. :/

Edit: It's updating, but very slowly.

While I enjoyed the problems, I'm disappointed to see that the contest platform is less functional than I remember. (For example, the scoreboard in Div. 1 didn't update for the last hour of the contest, the contest timers on the problem pages were off by several minutes so that I didn't realize the contest was over until two minutes after it had ended, etc.)

Hey all,

We’re sorry there were some major inconveniences for the participants. Submitting code to the problems had been working fine throughout, but other peripheral stuff (Run, ranklist, live ratings, etc) were getting backlogged, and for a bit the pages were also slow to load. The new judging system worked smoothly, but we seem to have underestimated the increased impact it’ll have on the DB, and so the DB got overloaded. We will positively fix the DB issue in a few days and post an RCA.

Apologies again, for the issues.

No rank and score updates, long queues, constructive problems in div2 and also didn't understood why my code works fine for Ant and passes all test cases but it just does.
