I have no idea. Maybe it updates after every post?
EDIT: doesn’t look like it. Good luck with your lessons!

If you log out and log in from the forums here, it will automatically update to your current level. Otherwise, I have no idea how it updates. Mine changed from 16 to 17 right when I leveled up to 18.

Sounds like you figured it out. It updates to not be more than one level behind unless you log out and in to refresh or you manually override 
Source: Level 50 right now

It’s becoming such a slog to do lessons now. I’m hoping to still make it to Death by the end of the month. After that, I wanna go at a more relaxed pace but still reach Hell by the new year.

I feel you, my level up is in four hours and this is how badly I don’t want to do my level 49 lessons:

You’re showing up as level 23 for me. 
Also curious which app that is.
Tsurukame (for Apple devices)
You’re showing up as level 6 for me but something tells me you’re level 7. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That would explain why I didn’t recognize it.

I love this, I’ve been in Wanikani since 2016, when I bought a lifetime membership after reaching level 2 or 3, and I’ve reset several times, usually when things in life got hard.
But I’m determined to keep going and complete this once and for all, and this might be another little bit of motivation to complete the challenge. I’ve added most, and feel free to add me.

Great objective! 
Lots of us are competing with that same milestone in mind here: WaniKani Study Buddy Race - 2022, All Aboard!
Consider it like a brother forum 
pretty motivating.
Don’t hesitate to put yourself in the list.
