Contest ratings on LeetCode are typically updated following the completion of a contest. However, there can be delays in the rating process. This means that a user’s profile might not immediately reflect the impact of their performance in the competition.
Timely updates to contest ratings are crucial for participants. Ratings reflect skill level and track progress within the platform’s competitive environment. Historically, delays, albeit infrequent, have occasionally occurred due to system load or unforeseen processing complexities. Understanding potential reasons for delays in rating updates helps users manage expectations and understand platform processes.
