For the past few weeks, the “Standard”-map on www.openstreetmap.org hasn’t been updating immediately after new map contents are uploaded by mappers. Before that, you could see the most up-to-date version of the map in your browser after about 5-10 minutes by pressing “CTRL+F5.” Now it often takes several days.
What’s the reason for this? As a mapper, I appreciated the immediate feedback, which allowed me to spot and fix potential errors right away.
I can’t confirm this. A change I did some minutes ago - and I can see this change now.
And this was true for me the day before yesterday too.
If I remember correctly changes of relations only don’t trigger new tile generation.
Maybe you could link to an example changeset?
Changeset: 185390192 | OpenStreetMap and OpenStreetMap for Changeset: 185368774 | OpenStreetMap keep showing old data for me, despite trying to refresh browser cache
(I am well aware of Browser cache - OpenStreetMap Wiki on account of mostly writing most of that page)

Other edit made 20 hours ago has influence on tiles.
Maybe situation differs for different tile servers?
I do not see much at OpenStreetMap Ops Team (@osm_tech@en.osm.town) - OSM Town | Mapstodon for OpenStreetMap
That is pure guessing but maybe we have another LLM-scraper wave? OSM Wiki had outages yesterday.
The change seems to be updated correctly for me - the 2 extra level crossings don’t appear - maybe it depends on location?
yes, we may be getting images from different tile servers, different CDN servers, maybe I triggered something and get less fresh tiles…
Also, my browser may be being stupid.
Some hours ago I created some new ways to fix the Notes: OpenStreetMap
=> Some Zoomlevels got updated (16,18,19) , some not (14,15,17). And sometime zoomlevels just partly, e.g. 2 files updated, 7 not (=mix of old and new files).
The days ago I had several area where updates didn’t occur even after 24h or 48h in zooms 14-19.
This is the behavior of the last weeks. Before each level from 14-19 got completely updated within 5-10 minutes after pressing CTRL+F5
for some reason, zoom 12 always takes far longer to update for me than the rest of the zooms
Does the vector layer respond quicker?
It seems. I can see the new ways in each Vector-zoom 14-20
Zooms 0-12 are rendered once a day as these tiles take too long to be rendered on-the-fly.
no i mean specifically zoom 12 - i’ve had zoom 10 come in before 12.
The dirty queue length on european tile servers is indeed increased since around May 11:
This is the backlog for tile requests when render servers are too busy to handle all requests on-the-fly.
The postponed requests from that queue will be rendered when servers are idle, usually in the evening, so it’s best to try again late in the evening.
I opened an issue with operations:
operations#1375 Dirty queue length increased since around May 11
