Two weeks? I'm a little confused.

I just released a new version of my game and it's already live. Does that mean I need to wait up to two weeks before it can appear in the "Recent Updates" section?

I've followed all the recommendations, updated the game properly, and even driven traffic to the page myself.

Honestly, two weeks feels like a very long time for a newly released update to be recognized. Could you clarify if this is expected behavior or if there's anything else I should do?

Will this always be the case?

If I release a new update in the future, wait this long, follow all the guidelines, and still end up in the same situation, that's very discouraging.

As an indie developer, this is honestly quite demoralizing. It makes the whole process feel very unpredictable, and it's difficult to know what to expect or plan for when releasing updates.

This is traffic I brought to the page myself.
