@freemo Since the update I get multiple end of voting notifications for each poll I have voted in (e.g. just got 10 notifications in a row for https://mastodon.nz/@pezmico/112028203100230568). It doesn't bother me so far, but I figure it might be a symptom of something with other annoying consequences.
> Is it possible you voted on it back when things were still broken?
Unlikely, given that the poll started 3d ago (according to its timestamp).
(If it's in any way helpful, earlier polls on which the same thing happened to me: https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk/112014805256252757 which started 5d ago, https://mastodon.social/@danluu/111994437263038931 which started on Feb 25th.)

@robryk The last known issue (though the system was usable) was on march 2nd and resolved around 1500 (EST I think, maybe UTC). So there would have been some overlap there.
@robryk and earlier polls where the same thing happened all appear within the time period where we were still fixing stuff. So all that could be explained by the now resolved problem.
That said if you see this happen on any polls that occured on march 3rd or after (in terms of when you voted or posted the poll) then that means there is a persisting issue and I'd like to know.
I have a few pending polls int he pipeline that should give me some answers int he next 24 hours as well.
@freemo Ah, then it's quite likely that it was indeed before then. I'll then notify you again if it reoccurs, and otherwise will assume this was a result of the issue at that time.
@robryk Please do, ill keep this on my radar for now and do a deeper dive if i can confirm any occurrence that doesn't line up with my theory.
Since our problems were revolving around the worker queues and caused a lot of retried tasks at the time my theory seems reasonable at least.
So the tests I started earlier today to see how polls were working (unintentionally), the notification just came in and it was a single notification. So it **seems** the problem was as I theorized an artifact and already fixed.
That said please do tell me if either of you have any problems in the future and I'll look into it again. For now I'm marking this tentatively solved.
Still happening, albeit with a smaller number of copies: I've got two notifications for end of the following poll: https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil/112048388768399462
Thanks, the date lines up that this is legitimate then, ill reopen looking into this.
It only happens with polls so far that you've seen?
Yup, only polls.
Ok, please continue to let me know as you see this both on polls again and on posts. I will reopen the investigation of that on my end.
Same thing with another poll: https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk/112050034752815560
This time 3x.
@robryk Someone else just commented this to me as well, on the same post infact. Here was my response:
The poll you quote here shows as muted to me. Can you link me directly to it so I can look. ITs possible its an artifact of the migration. The way the system works is it schedules at the moment you vote on a poll a task for the future that sits int he queue. If when things were broken you voted it may have created multiple scheduled tasks that even though things got fixed all went through now.
So this may not indicate things are still broken at all... but depends on timing, do you remember how long ago exactly you voted on it? Is it possible you voted on it back when things were still broken?
