Hi, I completed the conditions for the Pair Extraordinaire achievement, but the badge has not appeared on my profile even after more than 72 hours.

Evidence:

1. kaileyventures/AutoCommit PR Feature request: support release details #3 — Update README.md kaileyventures/AutoCommit#3 — merged with a merge commit; sunny-oye is recognised as co-author (Co-authored-by trailer present, both contributors shown on the merge commit).
2. sunny-oye/badgeunlocker PR Feature request: support jumping to lines in files #5 — Update demo.text sunny-oye/badgeunlocker#5 — merged as commit 93f8311, with kaileyventures as named co-author. This covers the opposite direction.

Current achievements on kaileyventures: Pull Shark x2, Galaxy Brain, YOLO, Quickdraw — no Pair Extraordinaire. sunny-oye shows only Quickdraw.

I already contacted GitHub Support (ticket #4946078), but it was closed with a redirect to Community Discussions, so I am posting here. Could someone please resync/award the achievement, or advise what is blocking it? Thank you.

i did it with GitHub desktop app.

I checked both PRs, and they look valid to me:

• Update README.md kaileyventures/AutoCommit#3: merged into main (the default branch) of a public, non-fork repo on Oct 31. The commit has a Co-authored-by: trailer with sunny-oye's noreply email, and the ID prefix (317564458) matches sunny-oye's account.
• Update demo.text sunny-oye/badgeunlocker#5: also merged into main on Oct 31, with kaileyventures' noreply email (45391180) as co-author, which matches too.

So nothing is wrong on your side. Whether you commit from the CLI or GitHub Desktop doesn't matter either. What counts is the trailer, and yours resolve correctly.

This is most likely the achievement-processing delay being tracked in #203416. In the September 23 update, GitHub staff confirmed that some achievements are taking several days to appear, and there's no timeline for a fix yet.

From my own experience, my Pair Extraordinaire tier upgrade showed up about 7 days after the qualifying PR was merged. Both of your PRs were merged on October 31, so I'd expect the badge to show up around November 7. If it still hasn't appeared after that, I'd post your details in #203416, since that's the thread staff are monitoring. You can use my report there as a reference: #203416 (comment)
