I took a scan using niantic wayfarer app and uploaded it on 10-07 and the vpn status is still in processing state, the previous scans only used to take maximum of 2 hours to activate. I’ve tried taking multiple scans after this to see whether it was a one-time thing, but all the scans i took in the last two days are in processing state.

Hello Afeloth,

Could you please provide us with the wayspot IDs and coordinates of your scans that are stuck in ‘Processing’ so that we may investigate further?

Hi Afeloth,

My activation requests from July 10 and 11 (afternoon) have been completed now - morning of the 12th, US Eastern Daylight Time. I hope yours have too.

Hello @Louell,

Our records show that your `b3d07e9bf2a642f9b8101fb553f5a1ac.107` scan was successful!  
Regarding your other scan, if it no longer appears in your Wayfarer app Logbook, you will unfortunately need to rescan and try again. It did not successfully upload, so we are unable to activate it for you. I apologize for the inconvenience.
