Not sure if this is normal, but I am currently sponsoring someone and have created multiple pull requests, yet **I still don't have the badges**. It's been about 4 days since I got the required achievements for the badges.

Here is the breakdown of why each of these two specific badges isn't appearing on your profile yet, and the exact steps to resolve them:

---

1. GitHub Sponsor Badge

The GitHub Sponsor badge only displays on your profile if the sponsorship is configured as Public:

• Privacy Toggle: When initiating a sponsorship, GitHub defaults to or offers a Private option. If a sponsorship is marked private, GitHub deliberately hides the badge, sponsor count, and avatar from your public profile to protect your financial privacy.
• How to fix:
  1. Navigate to your GitHub Sponsors Dashboard (or click your avatar $\to$ Your sponsors / Sponsorships).
  2. Select your active sponsorship.
  3. Under sponsorship settings, ensure "Make sponsorship public" / "Include me in the list of public sponsors" is enabled. Once toggled to public, the badge appears immediately.

2. Pull Shark Badge

While you have created and merged pull requests, there are two common caveats with how GitHub awards Pull Shark:

1. Self-merged PRs in personal repositories: GitHub's achievement daemon has anti-farming filters designed to detect rapid loops of self-opened and self-merged PRs within personal repositories where the PR author and the repo owner/merger are identical.
2. Qualifying merge condition: Pull Shark is awarded when your PR is reviewed and merged into the default branch (main or master) by another user or in a public repository with external collaboration.

• How to trigger it reliably: Submit a pull request to any collaborative or open-source repository, or have another collaborator review and merge your branch into the default branch.

---

3. General Achievement Settings & Indexing

• Profile Visibility: Verify that Settings $\to$ Public profile $\to$ Achievements has "Show Achievements on my profile" checked (your profile already shows Galaxy Brain, YOLO, and Quickdraw on your achievements tab, confirming your section is active).
• Batch Re-indexing: Achievement counters are processed through background message queues. Changes usually sync within 24 to 48 hours once all qualification criteria are satisfied.

If this helps clarify why the badges were missing and helps you get them displayed, feel free to mark this as the accepted answer!

Thanks so much. I'll try it, and if it works, I will definitely mark this as an answer.
