Hi, It appears Last.fm sync is not working for me anymore. The scrobbles were last imported on 2026-06-26 about 1:22 CEST, and no new scrobbles appeared in ListenBrainz since then. Right now there are about 150 scrobbles in my Last.fm waiting to be imported. ![Screenshot_2026-06-27_13-17-40](https://community.metabrainz.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/6/66108194835766b23da16c12322fa4b948ba359b.png) I tired disconnecting and reconnecting again, but it didn’t fix it. There were some changes introduced on Last.fm end recently, but I’m not sure it could be related: [What we're working on - Announcements - Last.fm Support Community](https://support.last.fm/t/what-were-working-on/119032) I saw other threads about similar issue, but they concern new ListenBrainz accounts and the initial Last.fm import. I’ve had Last.fm connected to my ListenBrainz account for a long time now, and the sync suddenly stopped. So I created a new topic, but maybe it could be merged to another one. ---

I was scratching my head quite hard after waiting a day and the status did not budge at all. I decided to translate my last.fm scrobbles using a [JSON exporter](https://lastfmstats.com/) to a libre.fm CSV: `jq -r '.scrobbles[] | [(.date | (. / 1000)), .artist, .track, .album] | @csv'` Perhaps I should have been more patient, but there reports of scrobbling failing to work, most likely due to [last.fm changes](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/my-listenbrainz-is-not-importing-scrobbles-from-lastfm/815147/3). I am still waiting for the libre.fm imports to actually show up on my profile. ---

I’m really not sure how Last.fm changes could be related here. What they changed so far affects scrobbling to Last.fm, but privacy-related changes in the API were only annouced as planned, not as done. And in any case, since I wrote my post yesterday some of my scrobbles were imported from Last.fm to ListenBrainz, but importing stopped again. So I suspect a problem on LB side. But let’s wait until we hear from the staff. ---

I suspect it is a ListenBrainz issue as other sites that use the Last.fm API are working fine for my profile, yet the last time my listens updated was on the 27th of June. ---

Well, I guess we have an answer, and that the issue _is_ related to the Last.fm change - just not the way we thought… > **[Current ListenBrainz server issues/high load – MetaBrainz Blog](https://blog.metabrainz.org/2026/06/30/current-listenbrainz-server-issues-high-load/)** With best regards from “This is why we can’t have nice things” department. 🙄 ---

The lengths some people go to so their favorite band appears at the top of the global charts… ---

Has importing resumed ok for you now? I’ve just realised mine stopped importing around the same time that yours did. ---

> [@herdivineshadow](#): > > Has importing resumed ok for you now? It did, but it’s infrequent now. Previously there was a new batch of scrobbles synced more less every hour, now it’s at most once a day. And I haven’t checked yet if everything I scrobbled to Last.fm was actually imported. ---

Is any work done on filter out the bot attack?
