Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop to let you know that the devs are working on getting this fixed. As always, thanks a ton for bringing this to our attention (especially now that it seems to be back).
+1 as a thankyou to the Dev's for working on this.
In case this is relevant - It might be an issue not with the time of posts but an actual numerical delay. I just opened a thread which I was subscribed to, and as I did so someone posted on it, and I got one notification from 12 hours ago for a different thread.
It might be coincidence, but the notifications might be updating sporadically because they update each time a post is made in a thread you're subscribed to, but also are a number of posts behind in the notification queue - so a notification from 12 hours ago is squeezed out when someone makes a new one now. Like there's a waiting queue of notifications somewhere in cyberspace that only moves when a new one is added.
Could be a red herring, but I thought I'd best mention it in case someone finds one number in the code that shouldn't be there!
It is currently 2:22 pm EST, and my notifications are still showing me stuff from yesterday as current notifications. So I guess nobody has really posted in the past 14 & 1/2 hours…?
I believe in the devs! Just reporting in that my notifications are delayed by 10 hours, and they seem to be prompted to come in by new posts (for example, I got a 9 hour notification... when a post was made in the last 30 minutes).

Trying to get your physical content on Beyond is like going to Microsoft and saying "I have a physical Playstation disk, give me a digital Xbox version!"
Still (or rather: again) a solid hour for me. Kevtr0n's post is my last notification. A lot of back and forth on times. Gets pretty good, then slows to like 12 hours.
[While typing] a 44 minute old post just popped on my notifications.
It’s honestly hard for me to gauge the delay because all of my (too-many) game threads have slowed down to a trickle of their normal pace... because no one is getting reliable notifications and people are constantly missing posts. This seems like it could be a bad thing if people want the site to be used regularly.

Confirming that the delay is back for me and that I’m getting notifications for posts made before mine.

D&D Beyond StaffJust wanted to keep everyone in the loop to let you know that the devs are working on getting this fixed. As always, thanks a ton for bringing this to our attention (especially now that it seems to be back).
Just an update that I'm currently 11 hours delayed, on GMT.

I think my notifications might be up-to-date. Quick, someone post something.
It's an illusion. Still getting mix of "new" notifications between 20 min and 12 hours.

Got notified about this only 4-7ish minutes late. Much better than the 12 hours yesterday.
Bizarrely, I find that as soon as I post on this thread it seems to speed back up again.
Am I a rat, in a box, pressing a button for a temporary treat?

Nah. Still hours behind for me.
It's currently hours behind for me, and has been for a couple hours. I wonder if posting here will bring it back up to date...

My delay is now currently down to 3 hours. Is this a light at the end of the tunnel?
Edit: Now only 2 hours.

Yes, ongoing problem. Are they aware, working on this?
they are aware, and I hope they are working on it

My notifications keep fluctuating between 1-2 hours old at this point, so 12-18 hours closer to expected than it’s been in a while now.
