Hello,

I have 3 achievements on my GitHub account, but they are not displaying on my profile even though I have enabled the setting to show them.

Details:
GitHub username: debanjan-py-alt
Profile URL: https://github.com/debanjan-py-alt
Issue: My 3 achievements are not visible on my profile
Current Settings:
✅ "Show Achievements on my profile" is ENABLED in Settings → Profile settings
✅ Setting has been saved and confirmed
What I've Already Tried:
Refreshed my profile page multiple times
Cleared browser cache and tried hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R)
Tried viewing in different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
Tried opening in incognito/private browsing mode
Logged out and logged back in
Waited several hours (no change)
Expected Behavior:
The 3 achievements should be displayed as badge icons on my profile sidebar

Actual Behavior:
No achievement badges appear anywhere on my profile, even though the setting is enabled

Questions:
Why are my achievements not showing despite the setting being enabled?
Can someone from GitHub confirm which 3 achievements I have earned?
Is this a known bug or display issue?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Same thing happened to me, last night I checked I had:

• Public Sponsor
• Pull Shark
• YOLO
• Pair Extraordinaire
• Quickdraw
• Starstruck

But now, only Public Sponsor shows up :/

I also have this issue! I had many achievements, now only Public Sponsor

We’ve created an incident Discussion for affected users to follow along. We’ll post updates there as we learn more, and we’ll update the thread again once the issue is resolved.

This should be resolved — take a look at your profile and confirm. If it's working, please mark it as answered
Resolved Incident

Your profile should show it by now:

Your achievements not showing is a current GitHub display bug. Even if the “Show achievements on my profile” setting is enabled, the badges may not appear.

A quick workaround is to open your achievements page, click any achievement, toggle “Hide from profile”, then toggle it back to “Show on profile”. This forces a refresh. If the page returns 404, enable “Include private contributions on my profile” and refresh.

If none of this works, the issue is on GitHub’s side and they are already investigating it.

Hi!

This is actually a known issue on GitHub’s side. Many users recently experienced the same problem where achievements temporarily disappear from the profile even when the setting is enabled.

Since you’ve already tried all the correct troubleshooting steps (refresh, cache clear, different browsers, incognito, etc.), it’s very likely not an issue from your end.

A few things you can try additionally:

1. Open your achievements page and toggle visibility (hide → show again) to force a refresh
2. Ensure “Include private contributions on profile” is enabled
3. Wait for some time — GitHub usually fixes these display issues automatically

As mentioned in the thread, GitHub has already acknowledged this as an incident and is working on it. Once resolved, your achievements should reappear automatically.

So no need to worry — your achievements are not lost, it’s just a temporary display glitch 👍

Hope this helps!

Hey 👋

I’ve run into this before too sometimes achievements just don’t show up right away even if the setting is on
A few things you could try

Refresh your profile or wait a few minutes GitHub can be a little slow syncing badges.
Double-check that you actually earned the achievements (sometimes it’s easy to miss a tiny requirement).
Look at each achievement’s visibility some might still be set to private.
Try a different browser or clear your cache, just in case it’s a display glitch.

If none of that works, hitting up GitHub Support usually gets it sorted pretty quickly.

Hope that helps!
