Topics-Internals: Scheduled Updates Seem Not to be Working #300

Closed abubakaraziz closed 1 week ago

abubakaraziz commented 3 months ago

Hi,

In my chrome://topics-internals/, the next scheduled calculation time for Topics is 3/29/2024, 11:01:11 PM. However, I don't see the latest epoch calculated even though that date has passed. In all my previous epoch calculations, epochs were calculated after I pressed the Calculate Now button.

Thanks for the report. Seems strange, and I've heard of another similar incident. Will investigate and report back.

Thank you for looking into that. I asked some of my friends, and they faced similar issues.

Quick follow-up: Can you confirm if this issue is only limited to chrome://topics-internals/ (UX issue)? For instance, if the internal topics page doesn't show epoch and topics calculation, will topics still be calculated internally in browser on schedule, and third parties continue to see the topics when they call the API?

@jkarlin just checking out to see if you've any updates regarding this issue? Thank you!

Still exploring. We have reason to believe that it isn't just UX and are looking for local reproductions to help us debug.

Okay, sorry for taking so long to get back to this. There is a subtle bug here that @xyaoinum discovered. Long story short, the 1 week timer doesn't increment when a computer is sleeping. So, if it's sleeping a lot, then the 1 recalculation will happen beyond 1 week if the browser hasn't restarted during that time. It's being fixed now.
