I have found that if I earn an exploration badge and then do "Game Transfer" -> "Upload to Cloud", and then on another device do a "Download from Cloud", sometimes the badge I just earned does not appear in the download. Even after waiting a few minutes, the badge still does not appear (and re-doing the upload/download). Why not? What is going on?

Which badges are not getting transfered?

In my latest example, it was the last badge for the money event. After trying several times over 15 minutes, I finally got it to transfer. Feels like some kind of timed synchronization process. When I transfer, does the process actually transfer stuff from my local device to the cloud (or vice-versa)? It almost seems like some of my data (for example, badges) are stored in a different cloud, and when I "transfer", something tries to synchronize them.
In the above example, I was going from steam to android. I am pretty sure I have seen the same issue when going from android to steam as well. In either case, waiting for a little while seems to help make sure it sticks. But I am really curious as to why. :)

thank you for this information. Also were you trying to do a save transfer between different versions?

Yes. Steam was beta, android was public. Latest version of both

that might have caused some issues, hopefully you won't run on that problem when you transfer between production versions.

one can always hope! 😁

FYI - it is not just badges; it seems when I upload from one device and then download to another device (both at different version), the last minute or so of my progress, no matter what it was, is not included in the download. For instance, I was just in Beyond, got some cards, uploaded and than downloaded, and those cards did not appear in the download. Very odd.
how do I know if the most recent progress is in the upload? Does the upload only take things older than x seconds?
