This is probably related to the update server being very busy right now.

We have paused the processing of large updates (more than 500 objects)
right now, to allow other updates to go through. We will resume them
when all of the other updates have gone through. Delays were about 90
minutes.

We have also gotten our query servers working properly again, so updates
are now immediately visible.

Apologies again for any problems that this has caused you.
