What were you expecting:

The prefix's description on https://bgp.tools/as/208548#prefixes should update to reflect the changes in WHOIS.

What happened:

The prefix description does not get updated despite WHOIS changes clearly being reflected in the WHOIS tab.

I see

inet6num:       2a07:54c2:1000::/36
descr:          Telecom Iceland ehf.
org:            ORG-AMD4-RIPE
netname:        IS-TELECOM-ICELAND-20230302

and the prefix descr on the AS page is: Telecom Iceland ehf.

What are you expecting it to be?

Look at the de-aggregated routes on the AS page, they do not have their own objects in RIPE and so inherit the description of the less-specific /36. When they are clicked their WHOIS tab displays the correct (updated) WHOIS information while the AS page does not.

Oh I see, it didnt purge the cache for the less specifics. This should auto solve in 24 hours, but I'll also track this as a minor bug for later when I'm working in that area again
