Body

I collaborated with a friend on a project and expected to receive the Pair Extraordinaire badge, but it isn't showing on my profile.

What we did:

Committed changes together on a shared branch/repo
it shows co author while create PR and commiting.

What I expected: the Pair Extraordinaire achievement to appear on my profile after the merge.

What happened instead: the badge hasn't appeared, even though the PR shows the co-author on GitHub.

Details:

Roughly how long ago the PR was merged: 1 day ago

Has anyone else run into this, or is there a known delay before achievements update? Any pointers on what to check would help.

Sometimes this is just a delay on GitHub's side, not a real problem with your commit. The Pair Extraordinaire achievement doesn't always show up right after the merge — it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to appear on your profile.

A few things to check while you wait:

Confirm the merged commit still shows the Co-authored-by: trailer (check the merge commit itself, not just your original commit, especially if you used squash merge).
Make sure both GitHub accounts have a verified email that matches the one used in the trailer.
Try a hard refresh of your profile page, or check from a private/incognito window, since achievements can be cached.

If it still hasn't appeared after a few days and everything above checks out, it's likely the known GitHub bug where one collaborator's achievement doesn't update (see orgs/community discussion #40386) rather than something wrong on your end.
