After Upgrading Tier, API Doesn't Update Membership Tier

I’m a fairly new Patreon creator and am currently integrating the Patreon API into my website. I’ve encountered an issue where the API is not reflecting a tier upgrade for my test account. Some details:

  • My test account was upgraded from Readers ($5-10) → Explorers ($15-20).
  • The API still returns “Readers” in the /identity?include=memberships,memberships.currently_entitled_tiers response.
  • This has persisted for a few days now despite logging out, waiting, and retrying the request multiple times.

Is there a known delay in updating membership tiers via the API? Is there a way to manually trigger a refresh for a patron’s membership status?

Can share more details on what I’m doing, if needed.
