Hello everyone.
Since a couple of weeks I stopped receiving the (weekly) mail with the list of all the open/applied edits to my subscribed entities. I already checked the mail didn’t end in the spam or that I changed my settings by mistake, and it’s not like that. I also keep on receiving mails everytime a note is added to my edits, so I can’t really tell what’s the problem here!
I found that tool pretty useful and I’d really like to have it back, so can anyone help me, or is anyone experiencing the same issue?
Thanks
I think I did receive mine (2023-05-27, 2023-05-20, 2023-04-08).
Were there any edits in that period in your subscribed entities or in your subscribed editors?
Update: I’ve added the dates above. It’s true it seems there are gaps. But I don’t really use them, I regularly go through all edits of my release collection, and some other favourite (bookmarked) searches.

Yeah there were plenty of applied or open edits, and I know it cause I checked them manually not being able to do otherwise… the open ones that I’ve just checked are currently above 250 only for subscribed artists!
The only weird thing I noticed is that I used to receive that mail every Saturday at the same time, then it started to arrive always later, until it stopped arriving completely 
I have daily emails enabled and still receive them at the usual time. Wednesday and Saturday are delayed presumably due to increased load:

Another report on IRC:
https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/5180533/
Apparently people are not receiving notifications for notes left on their edits either. Although I don’t get many notes on my edits I can’t confirm this, yesterday and today I got emails for two different edits.

Oh this would be more serious!
I don’t really care with subscription emails, as I rather use my bookmarks.
But if someone tells me stuff, it would be good to know each time.

False alarm at least for my report, something was broken on my mail server and the message got stuck.

Has anybody else been having trouble getting these emails lately? I’ve been getting them weekly as I’ve chosen in my preferences, normally I receive them on Saturdays (no later than the afternoons) and I still didn’t get anything for last week (not even in my spam folder). The whole weekend has passed without me receiving anything despite seeing at least some activity on entities that I’m subscribed to, especially ones on which there’s activity on almost daily basis.
There was one day last week where the emails were skipped because the previous day’s daily cron took more than 24 hours so the next one never started. I think that was Thursday though - but maybe Saturday was skipped too? I seem to have no email for that day. @Bitmap: we should figure out what’s causing things to be slower.

I received my daily subscriptions emails for the past two days. The ones that were skipped were at 2025-10-16T00:10:01 UTC and 2025-10-18T00:10:01 UTC (Thu. and Sat., though Wed. and Fri. in my time zone). To answer @DenizC, the latter was unfortunately the day weekly subscriptions were supposed to be processed. I’m running the script again right now to process only weekly subscriptions, so you should hopefully receive a mail soon (better late than never).

It has just arrived.
Thanks to both of you.

FYI, daily subscription emails were skipped again today, but this time because I forgot to revert the hack to only send weekly emails. Didn’t notice until now because it “successfully” sent 0 emails. Sorry about that. The next ones should start being processed in 8 hours and will include two days worth of changes.
