Since last week this ‘connection lost’ problem keeps occurring.
I’m on chrome with scripts. I could do ~ 30 reviews before the first time it occurred.
Tried again, happened again after ~20 reviews.
Switched to Firefox without scripts, and surprisingly I could do around ~70 reviews this time.
Back to chrome with scripts and happened again after ~30.
Switching the browser seemed to alleviate, BUT NOT fix it.
Best of luck getting to the bottom of it.
Chiming in to say I’m also having this issue. Using Chrome browser with scripts.
It’s interesting because it still lets me continue my reviews despite the popup. I just have to squint to see through the shading. And when I refresh the page I can see that my progress was counted.
Happened to me a few days ago, thought it was just my internet so I just refreshed like 4-5 times during a 100+ review session. Happened again tonight and saw this thread so I might as well share my experience. Browser is Firefox on a Windows PC, no scripts.
You can probably retry 1-3 times and provide some minimal UI feedback like Retrying update ... .
You could possibly wrap the /json/progress in retry logic, because a 500 probably (i have no idea about the implementation) doesn’t mean a complete disconnect since it’s not a websocket.
This happened to me just now for the first time since 11 days ago when everyone was having the issue. Three times during the same review session. Hopefully just a one off.
