Hello CodeForces,

I submitted my solution for a problem at 15:30 UTC-7. However, the verdict was shown 1.5 hours later! If a delay like this happens during a contest, the person won't be able to debug their code if it's wrong :skull. It says that the grading system uses a queue, since it says that your submission is "In queue". This should mean that the later you submit, the later you get your verdict. However, it appears like you could get your verdict sooner than someone who submitted earlier than you. This is extremely unfair (my experience above never happened to me before, but this delay is extreme). Here is some evidence:  .

Why is this happening? I really hope this will get fixed ASAP so that these extreme delays won't happen again. I hope you understand my concern.

Thanks, @pmaddineedi

I have similar problem I decided to do yesterday problems since I wasnt able to give contest and they were accepted after sometime and went into queue again now I am not even able to view those problems. Also newer problems that I submit are taking hours to get evaluated.

Only problems that you submit while a contest is going on / system testing is going on have that sort of delay. The contest yesterday was smooth, and even system testing has been really fast today
