Live users getting "We just updated this page" banner during business hours — with NO deploy from us (this week)

Need help
1

Hi all,

Starting this week, our end users have been getting hit with Bubble’s update banner — “We just updated this page. Please refresh the page to get the latest version. You will not be able to use the app until you refresh.” — during business hours, on days when we have not deployed anything.

We have active customers using our live app throughout the workday. We control and schedule our deploys, and we have NOT pushed any changes during the day this week. Yet:

  • Real customers are reporting the “we just updated this page” banner mid-day and being forced to refresh.
  • It’s also happening to our own team members on their own machines/browsers.
  • In our version control panel, all branches suddenly showed as “modified” at the exact same timestamp, even though our History/savepoints log shows the last real change was several days ago. So the branch “modifications” don’t correspond to anything we did.

This is disruptive for a production app — it interrupts our customers and looks like we’re constantly pushing changes when we aren’t.

My questions to the community:

  1. Is anyone else seeing the “we just updated this page” refresh banner appear to live users without deploying this week?
  2. Has anyone seen all their branches get re-stamped as “modified” at the same time with no corresponding savepoint in History?
  3. Is there any way to control when the update banner is shown to end users, or is this entirely platform-driven?

Wondering if this is a platform-side event (maintenance, migration, infra) rolling out this week rather than something on our end. Support is investigating our specific app, but I wanted to check if others are hitting the same thing.

Browser: Chrome 149.0.7827.156 (64-bit) on Windows. Timezone: GMT-5.

Thanks!

I know from some of our client apps that Bubble is aware of the issues and the deploy is related to some Bubble backend changes.

Yeah. This is one super annoying thing. I always used a plugin like this to not worry about it and made sure I save data instantly instead of with a save button. Auto Page Refresh Plugin | Bubble

We had this a few weeks ago. I reached out to Bubble and then said they were looking into it. I’ve followed up several times and they’ve said they’re still looking into it. They haven’t responded since the last time
