Summary
The system that tracks how many users are in each pod has been upgraded to improve speed, accuracy, and reliability.
What Changed
✅ Pod count updates now happen in the background
Previously, pod counts were updated immediately during actions like joining or leaving a pod. This sometimes caused slowdowns or errors.
Now, these updates happen in the background without delaying the user.
Benefits
-
Faster user actions — Joining or leaving pods now completes more quickly.
-
More accurate pod limits — The number of users in each pod is now tracked more reliably.
-
Fewer system errors — Reduced chance of timeouts or update failures.
Support Notes
-
No additional steps are required from support.
-
