Yeah, the badges are bugged. I did everything to get the Pair Extraordinaire badge, but I had to wait two weeks for it to unlock. I also participated in many discussions (8), and I still haven't received the Galaxy Brain badge. Just wait, bro. Your badge will probably appear within 1–2 weeks.

It has been around 4 weeks/1 month now....

Btw, the Galaxy Brain badge isn't bugged. GitHub itself removed the ability to earn this badge through discussions in the Community forum. You can still earn it by answering discussions within a repository.

Here is the announcement made by GitHub: Achievements will no longer be available in the Community

Here is how discussions within a repository work: How to Enable Q&A in GitHub Discussions

Btw, I answered 3 times, and the badge appeared instantly on my profile. I know Galaxy Brain isn't exactly the badge you want, but I just wanted to clarify that it wasn't bugged. It's just something I didn't know — you can no longer earn it through GitHub Community Discussions.

I'm not saying that's the case, but maybe you're doing something wrong, like I was? Or maybe there's some important information you don't know yet. For example, it's possible that acquiring the 3x version works differently from the 1x and 2x versions. That's just a hypothesis, though. Now that I figured out what was happening with my badge, it really opened my mind to the possibility that there might be some detail we're missing.

Thanks for all the details and research.
But the problem is my PRs are above the x3 (128th) for around a month. Hope that clarifies. It is as you said earlier probably a Github bug.

Confirmed. I had the same issue with Pull Shark x3. After ~2 months it appeared without doing anything else. Seems to be a delay in GitHub's badge processing, not something you're doing wrong

I am unable to mark 2 response as answer. Other websites allow multiple answers to be accepted.

You are correct and I want to also mark yours as an answer but it is not allowing me to. I think your 2 weeks and the badge didn't apply in my case and for Pull Shark FabianDaSilva's 2 month wait period would make more sense.

Keeping this open for devs to fix.
