Cloud variables don’t want to work for me at the moment. The number stays the same if I reload the page?
HELP!
Please.

Is your project shared? Also if you haven’t already try setting the variable just by clicking the block.

According to Scratch Wiki,in October of 2016, the cloud infrastructure started to fail occasionally.As a result, many multiplayer-focused projects did not work correctly. This has been attributed to the ever-increasing number of active users who are using cloud variables, with some projects sending up to 30 requests per cloud variable per second. This effectively “spammed” the cloud server with a load that couldn't be handled by the current infrastructure and shut it down.As a temporary fix, cloud variables have switched to using a different polling method, which is more reliable but significantly slower. Furthermore, the polling interval time was increased, to prevent spam. This new method works but may cause cloud variables to “rubber band” and reset to a previous value after it has been changed, as well as making many multiplayer projects less “real-time” or completely breaking them in general.I think this is the issue you are talking about?

This is a very common problem.
It seems to have been made worse by the recent maintenance, and cloud variables that once worked, now no longer work.

To fix the problem in your project, try renaming the cloud variable to something else.
That seems to “register” the cloud variable properly on the servers and it will immediately start working again.
