Cloud variables are very slow to update and don't instantly auto-update between devices

When my project assigns values to several cloud variables in succession, only the first and last of the bunch seem to actually save their values in the cloud. (I can see this in the “cloud data history” page for that project.)
For instance, this only writes values into cloud variables ☁cv1 and ☁cv8 :

set [☁ cv1 v] to [1]
set [☁ cv2 v] to [2]
set [☁ cv3 v] to [3]
set [☁ cv4 v] to [4]
set [☁ cv5 v] to [5]
set [☁ cv6 v] to [6]
set [☁ cv7 v] to [7]
set [☁ cv8 v] to [8]

However, it seems to work if I make it wait 1/10th of a second before each assignment, like this:

set [☁ cv1 v] to [1]
wait (0.1) secs
set [☁ cv2 v] to [2]
wait (0.1) secs
set [☁ cv3 v] to [3]
wait (0.1) secs
set [☁ cv4 v] to [4]
wait (0.1) secs
set [☁ cv5 v] to [5]
wait (0.1) secs
set [☁ cv6 v] to [6]
wait (0.1) secs
set [☁ cv7 v] to [7]
wait (0.1) secs
set [☁ cv8 v] to [8]

If I make those delays 0.01 instead of 0.1, then about half of the values make it to the cloud.

I have not yet tested with bigger data; if it needs time to write data, maybe it will need more time to write more data?

I think it would be a solution, thanks you

This is not really a solution; at best it might be a workaround. We don''t even know if it works reliably.

Change each delay to 0.2 seconds. It works well for sending data to a bunch of cloud variables at a time. That's what I'm doing for a new project of mine.

Please disregard my last few posts. After fixing my project's issues and bugs, cloud apparently seems to be working.

The previous version seems to be sending a lot of request per second, so I think the value of the variable get reverted back per reloading due to this updating frequency (color indicates the user).


After the modification made to the project (only update when some conditions are met), the update frequency become much lower, but the cloud variable still get reverted back to the one saved in the project after each refresh. (color indicating the variable changes after each refresh)

For reference, this project.

I found a bug with a cloud:
The cloud is updated at all during the game and if you update the game then the cloud outputs the value which was during the save of the game ie when I saved the game I had a 0 value and I set to 66 and when I updated the game it reset back ie put the value 0
Please, fix the bug!

Is it a one-time set to 66 or are you putting it in a forever loop? For me, the problem is that since I'm pinging the cloud too often it shuts me out and/or doesn't write the data to cloud. If you're thinking of making a multiplayer game, expect a 0.2 second refresh delay. and allow variables to change every 0.1 second for the most stability, and only one variable change at a time.

set [☁Cloud variable] to [0]
if <(☁Cloud variable) = [30]> then
say [Glitch]
end

forever
change [☁data v] by (☁ data)

Hi, my project https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/324154254/ needs more then 128 maximum cloud data digets, as I am making a mini platform for people to create pixel art and share it. I was wondering if there is any way for me to increase the amount of data I am allowed to store?
Thanks, Death-Eye.

On https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/312962723/, users cannot download data from the servers (it seems like this from my end). I would appreciate if anyone could vote, reload, and check if the project still says what their current vote is. Their activity DOES show up in the logs though. It is NOT a bug, I saved the project as is about an hour ago. It was working before the save, and cloud data stopped downloading after the save.

This issue started on Thursday, and became universal for all versions of the project (only this project). I've done a ton of testing.

If this can't be fixed, I'll have lost many hours of hard work. MANY hours, not like six or seven… way more…
