Metamask-extension: Balance not updating on 4.16

Created on 19 Oct 2018 · 9Comments · Source: MetaMask/metamask-extension

Some users have reported that their ETH balance is not updating (or taking a very long time to update) on 4.16

For those who experience this: please let us know here, and then try switching to a testnet then back.

Hi @bdresser,
I have encountered the same problem yesterday, but with a custom token balance. I had to close the browser and reopen it, It was 15/20 minutes that i could see the new balance in etherscan but not in Metasmak.
Thanks.

Can confirm something similar is happening to me. I'm working on a dapp which calls functions on Rinkeby and the transactions were not showing confirmed even though they had many confirmations on etherscan. Seems like this problem started in 4.16. I switched to Mainnet and then back to Rinkeby and it fixed the problem.

I'm having the same issue on a private network and Firefox 62.0.3. Switching networks seems to solve it.
edit:
the network changing just needs to be done once, after that it is all working as expected. Even after restarting the browser balance is updated promptly after transactions.

Seeing this as well. Not sure if it's on Metamask or Infura. It seems like the nodes it's pulling from are out of sync (gets results from an outdated block)

Fixed in https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/5614 and released in 4.17. Let us know if you're still having trouble with this and we can re-open.

@bdresser Just had this happen to me for the first time ever, running 5.3.2 on Chrome 71 for Mac. Switching to testnet and back resolved it.

I have also this problem with the balance of my tokens and eth. after I did a swap in Curve this happened. I think it is because of Infura API that Metamask is using it and not related to Metamask itself.
