Processing Queue
When you add a profile on rewind.lol, it waits in a processing queue until it’s its turn to be generated. This page explains the order profiles are processed in.
Queue Groups
- Queues are grouped by regions and continents. Each group has its own queue and runs independently of the others.
- Within a group, profiles are processed highest priority first, then oldest first.
Priority
A profile’s priority is made up of three things. They are listed from most to least important:
- Regular or custom profile. Regular profiles, including year-in-review, come before custom (filtered) profiles.
- Premium or free. Premium requests come before free ones. A request is premium if the account is covered by Patreon or another VIP arrangement.
- Manual or API. Manual requests made on the website come before automated requests made through the Tournament API.
Year-in-review mode no longer affects priority.
Resulting Order
From first to last. Within each level, profiles that have waited longest go first.

Things That Affect Your Place
- Custom profiles always come last. Even a premium custom profile waits behind every free regular profile.
- Requesting again never loses your place. If the account is already in the queue, a new request can only raise its priority, never lower it, and the profile keeps its original time in queue. A priority upgrade can occur if a Patreon subscription benefit is applied while the account is in queue.
- We try twice. If processing fails, the profile is retried. It keeps its original time in queue, so it goes back to the front of its priority level, ahead of anything that was added after it.
- Changing your username does not lose your place. See Errata.
