In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Is failcat sync broken? Hasn’t been updated the last couple days? Not sure if anyone has any details if it’s broken or just delayed or maybe no cars have been been built last couple days haha

I see ones on there for today 8/30. It’s definitely working

I was looking as well and up until about 12 eastern there were 0 vins added. Now there are 221 VINs in the last 24 hours. Normally this refreshes much earlier in the day, and I feel like some days the number increases throughout the day, even though supposedly failcat only scrapes for new VINs once a day. Obviously the site operates a little differently than I expect, or maybe it takes hours to run and find VINs. Good news is looks to be working now.
 
Looks to be the same today, nothing added overnight. Wonder if the schedule changed or the scrape is just taking longer to run, maybe some throttling?

I don’t know how it all works but I wonder if the program server that hosts the software or gives the directive to launch each day is in an area impacted by the hurricane. They are having major power and internet issues in that region.
 
Now says 363 VINs added overnight. I’ve noticed that on days when it says no VINs were added, there are still new vehicles populating. Could just be the counter that isn’t functioning properly sometimes.

It's hosted by Cloudflare which is a major infrastructure provider and the site is up so the hurricane shouldn't be an issue. Without knowing how the process is scheduled the rest is hard to say. Maybe Kia is taking longer to post window stickers. Maybe the process is taking longer to run. Maybe the schedule on when the task starts was pushed back. Hopefully we see updates later today...

All those VINs were added yesterday, although it took a few hours. I watched it increment starting at around 12PM Eastern yesterday till about 5PM so that is still within 24 hours from now.

Saturday, you'll typically see the VINs from Friday. Monday, you won't see any VINs, and sometimes Tuesday you won't see many VINs, since they're not producing on the weekends - It just depends on how KIA uploads the window stickers for that week.
 
Failcat is updating now. Guessing the update schedule changed for one reason or another. If you refresh you can see the number of cars added increase but the total is a little off since it includes cars added yesterday (Less than 24 hours ago).
