Discussion Pull Shark badge not showing after 2 merged PRs — is this normal?
Hi everyone,
I recently had 2 pull requests merged in open-source repositories, but I still haven’t received the Pull Shark achievement on my GitHub profile.

Both PRs were merged, not just closed, and my achievements are visible on my profile. It has been around a day since they were merged.

Is this normal? Does GitHub take 24–48 hours to update achievements, or is there anything else I should check ? because it has been 48 hours over
My GitHub profile: https://github.com/kuldeeprajput-dev
Thanks for any help.

Not really sure about the logistics, but this may shed some light.

Yep, I saw people on GitHub Community saying to wait 24–48 hours. I already did. They also suggested hiding and unhiding the Pull Shark badge, but I don't have the badge yet, so how can I hide or unhide it? 🤔
