Subscriptions broke

This keeps happening to my subscriptions. This is the third time they stop updating and its not until I say something in the forum that they update. So, here is hoping.

It's not you, it's the task in the server. Been doing this a while. I wonder if it had just fixed itself each time before and now it just...isn't.

That's a doable temp fix for me, since I need only check my subscriptions every few days. Thanks. But if it's a long-standing technical issue that changed behaviour then it can possibly lead to other, bigger issues. So it's best if a fix (or at least a reason) is looked in to.

Somehow I doubt it's coincidental that subscriptions started back up and the site reliability hit the dirt again. Why can't we just have all the nice things?! (Not dissing albert, but rather fate itself)

I just noticed mine haven't been updating for the past few days. If it's a trade-off between subscriptions and site reliability then the overall site is more important. Although I've never had much of a problem browsing normally. In fact, the subscriptions getting stuck is the only tech issue I ever encounter on Danbooru.

The bug does not seem to be limited to subscriptions, but to all daily maintenance tasks. A possible fix for it was committed recently, so we can hope that it starts working whenever Albert next updates the server.

Once-per-day is great for me, since I can make it part of my daily routine and not think about it for the rest of the day. If it stays stable at once-per-day, this totally gets my vote. Good job, whoever made that decision.
