Achievements section still not appearing on my profile after more than a week

Hi GitHub team,

I'm having an issue with the Achievements section on my GitHub profile.

My profile's "Show Achievements on my profile" setting is enabled, but the Achievements section/tab is still completely missing from my public profile.

I have already:

• Confirmed that Show Achievements on my profile is enabled.
• Toggled the setting off and back on.
• Refreshed the profile multiple times.
• Checked the profile in a private/incognito browser.
• Waited more than a week to see if the issue would resolve automatically.

My Achievements page also does not load:

https://github.com/SHEKHAR-Y/tab=achievements

At this point, this appears to be a GitHub-side profile/achievement synchronization or rendering issue rather than a profile-setting issue.

Could someone from the GitHub team please check whether my account's achievements are being generated correctly and whether the Achievements section needs to be resynchronized or restored?

I've attached screenshots showing the enabled setting and the missing Achievements section.

Thanks.

Update: This issue has now persisted for more than a week.

The Achievements section is completely missing from my public profile, even though the “Show Achievements on my profile” setting is enabled.

I have also tried toggling the setting off/on, refreshing the profile, and checking from another/private browser.

Could a GitHub staff member please confirm whether this is a known issue with achievement/profile synchronization and whether my account needs to be resynchronized?

I had the same issue with my Achievements section not appearing on my profile.

What worked for me was opening the direct Achievement page/link (the one I found with ChatGPT), then going to my profile settings and turning “Show Achievements on my profile” off. After that, I turned it back on again, and the Achievements section appeared on my profile.

So you could try opening your direct Achievements page first, then toggle Show Achievements on my profile off → save/update → turn it back on. Hopefully this works for you too.

GitHub’s documentation also confirms that the Achievements visibility can be toggled from Profile settings.

[SHEKHAR-Y]

You haven't read my whole problem because i already wrote i tried toggling the "Show Achievements on my profile" setting.

[omkar8425]

This appears to be more than a local browser or profile-setting issue, especially since you’ve already enabled the setting, toggled it off and back on, tested in an incognito window, and waited more than a week.

GitHub’s documentation confirms that “Show Achievements on my profile” controls the visibility of achievements on a profile. There have also been recent Community reports of Achievements not appearing even when the setting is enabled, including reports where the ?tab=achievements page returns a 404.

One correction to the report: the Achievements URL should use the query parameter format:

https://github.com/SHEKHAR-Y?tab=achievements

rather than:

https://github.com/SHEKHAR-Y/tab=achievements

However, if the correctly formatted URL also returns a 404, that would further support the possibility of a GitHub-side profile/achievement rendering issue.

At this point, I think the most useful next step is for GitHub to check the account server-side and verify whether the achievements are being generated correctly and whether the profile's Achievements section is being rendered. Since similar reports have been appearing recently, this may be related to a broader profile-rendering issue rather than an individual account configuration problem.

Thanks for providing the username, screenshots, and troubleshooting steps — that should make the issue easier to investigate.

I’m facing the same issue with the Achievements section not appearing on my GitHub profile, even though the “Show Achievements on my profile” setting is enabled.

I’ve also tried toggling the setting, refreshing the profile, and checking from another browser, but the section is still missing.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for GitHub to fix or synchronize the Achievements section once the issue is reported? If this is a GitHub-side issue, is there any estimated time for it to be resolved?

Hopefully GitHub Support can look into this soon.

[SHEKHAR-Y]

@jay1466 I checked your profile and achievement section is there.
There may be 2 possibilities:

1. It can be a cache issue, simply do a hard refresh and your issue will be solved
2. or you are just pretending that you face the same problem to achieve any type of achievement (like your comment to marked as the answer) so i don't appreciate this.

I am also facing the same problem where my github pullshark silver is not appearing, Github dev team ought to look into it and help us.

[emma123456789102]

Hey SHEKHAR-Y,

I checked your public pull requests, and you do have multiple PRs authored by your account that were successfully merged into main, including:

• test: Add a unit test for the usage of restrict_to and restriction_idx_key in select_in_dataset of GoldSelector goldener-data/goldener#322
• Add max_age_days filter to search_issues drkrillo/good-first-issues#159
• fix: check before dereferencing the object SHEKHAR-Y/Multi-tenant-Event-Booking-Ticketing-Platform#4
• test for token SHEKHAR-Y/Multi-tenant-Event-Booking-Ticketing-Platform#2

Therefore, this does not appear to be a case of the PRs merely being closed without merging.

One correction: the proper Achievements URL format uses ?tab=achievements:

https://github.com/SHEKHAR-Y?tab=achievements

Since you have qualifying public merged PR activity, the visibility setting is enabled, and you have already waited more than a week, this may be an account-level achievement processing or display issue.

I would recommend opening a ticket with the GitHub Support (https://support.github.com/contact) (https://support.github.com/contact) and including the PR links above, the corrected Achievements URL, and your screenshots. The GitHub Community can help troubleshoot eligibility, but only GitHub Support can investigate or repair account-level achievement data.

[SHEKHAR-Y]

@emma123456789102 But Github only provide the technical support to the members not for personal unpaid accounts. I think waiting is the only option left now.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

[sgoel2be24-cyber]

Hi! I'm having the same problem but instead of no achievement at all, I am only missing Pull Shark and Collaborator achievement even though I've achieved them both and it's been more than a month.
Opened a ticket but it was closed by them.
Any help will be appreciated.

[drrakonov]

Hi, the same thing happened to me as well. Did you find any solution to this?

[sgoel2be24-cyber]

Hi! My pull shark and collaborator badge were missing. After the complain, I got them both in the same day.
It wasn't like no badge was appearing in my profile but these 2 specifically weren't there.

They did resolve it though

[drrakonov]

Could you please share the draft/message you used when raising the GitHub issue? I tried opening a ticket myself, but it was automatically closed by the system, apparently because they don’t handle individual-service requests.

[sgoel2be24-cyber]

Mine was also closed but they also resolved the issue. Before that for 2 months these batches weren't there so I am assuming the complaint did something even though it was closed.

[drrakonov]

OKay! Thanks man.
