The tag scores script has not ran at the scheduled time of 03:00 UTC for a number of days.

Here are some other reports of this:

Is there a problem with tag score calculation?

Tag counts on my profile do not update

When is Top User per Tag Updated?

Sum of votes on tags

What's going wrong?

My profile tags page states I have a score of 0 across 1 question on :

But when I click the 0, it shows that I answered a 2nd question with a score of 2.

Update on 16/05/2013: The problem relapsed a few days ago and the tag scores are again stale. Can we get this fixed once and for all?

Update on 14/05/2014: This has started receiving more upvotes over the last few days. My guess is this has relapsed again.

    OK, I get it, we're all not getting our tag scores updated. Can we stop commenting now? I'm extremely inclined to remove my "informative" answer at this point.

    @BoltClock'saUnicorn I don't think your answer answers the question. Sure, it tells us when the script is ran, but it doesn't say why it isn't working.

    I think SO staff should say something: there is a bug, some work in progress, the feature was removed, something. You can't stay silent about this for 6 days.

    @dcernahoschi All of the community and developer staff spent the last week in New York. Between meetings and the general disruption to our usual routines, we are a bit behind on meta posts. I'll pass this one along to the dev team.

    @BoltClock'saUnicorn: Ya, without an official dev response, all you can really say is "let's see if it keeps running." I mean, when this was originally posted, it only skipped one day and then ran the next day. Perhaps it just happened not to error out this day and will continue onto another non-running streak tomorrow.

    @AnnaLear, can anyone from SO inside provide an answer tell exactly what happened, is the update script policy changed? I don't care if it is running daily or monthly, most people may satisfied when a clear announcement/explanation is given. Currently the system seems give user a feeling that it is experiencing some unpredictable scenario cause update scripts randomly up and down.

One of our daily scheduled jobs was timing out, causing tag scores to not refresh.

We changed the way we were calling the job that was timing out, so this issue shouldn't recur.

Sorry for the trouble!

    Looks like it's only getting worse. Maybe make it a weekly process so that at least it's stable and we know when to look forward for it to be updated, like SEDE data?

The tag-score job appears to be running again (yay!), but if it goes down again, or if someone is impatient with the once-a-day updates, I posted a page that gets the Tag Scores for a given user.

It returns results that are up-to-the-minute (excepting possible caching, by the API, on repeat requests). The results are fully sortable and searchable.

Update: The page now accepts URL parameters. EG:
jsbin.com/azeqec/12?sitename=stackoverflow&userid=1563422

Here's what the page looks like for the OP's current tag scores:

Sample results

Note that the API's "top-answer-tags" path could not be used, because it appears to be updated by the same daily job at the heart of this question, and it only returns the top 30 results.

    Good one, excellent work! For my id (1983854) I get two different tables. The first one does not order the score properly: I get 97, 9, 9..., 7, 68, 66, 6...

  • Interestingly, the first time I loaded the page, it said I had a score of 98 for the HTML tag. Reloading it gave the same as the screenshot. Good job!
