I’ve seen edits take as much as an hour to go from “About to close” to “Closed.” But right now I have 10 edits that have been “About to close” for 4 hours. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It’s only recording and release group edits that are affected, so it’s likely related to this change:

I did wonder. I had a series of edits on one release that had Recording, Medium, Release, and RG edits. The Release and Medium edits got applied, so that fits.
Hmm, I do have a few RG and Release edits that were entered since that story closed that got applied. But they were all auto-applied (typography, capitalization). So the issue apparently applies to edits that went through voting.

I assume the relevant people are aware…

Well, I wouldn’t count on it tbh! It’s just a ticket and a lot of devs will be taking breaks at the moment. If the issue is close to your heart/you think it is urgent then I would bump someone [in the dev chat channel](https://beta.musicbrainz.org/doc/Communication/ChatBrainz).

Fair point. I’ll be crunching things other than databases for a few days myself. 🙂
I put a vote on the ticket. That’ll do for now.

Then again… they’re all closed now. I see a note on the bug that they dealt with it.
