Contribution graph showing only 1 contribution for 4 qualifying commits

Hi GitHub team/community,

I’m experiencing an issue with my GitHub contribution graph.

Repository: ashishagrawal0999/cpp-dsa

On September 22, 2026, I made 4 commits to the repository:

• f74b543 — global-vs-local-variable file
• 9cb5230 — added global-vs-local-variable.cpp file
• 40bff1b — added practice file
• 7f52315 — added practice file

All four commits:

• are present in the repository’s commit history
• are on the main branch
• are included in the current main history
• were authored using ashishagrawal09990@gmail.com
• use the same email for both author and committer
• were made on September 22, 2026

My GitHub account has ashishagrawal09990@gmail.com as a verified email address.

The repository’s default branch is also main.

The repository commit history correctly shows all four commits on September 22. However, my profile contribution graph shows only:

1 contribution on September 22, 2026

For comparison, my September 23 commit 9d854f9 is also visible in the repository history.

I have already verified the usual contribution requirements:

• correct GitHub-associated commit email
• default branch is main
• commits are present on origin/main
• repository is my own standalone repository

Could you please confirm whether there is currently an issue with contribution-graph indexing/aggregation, or whether there is another eligibility condition I should check?

I have screenshots of the repository commit history, GitHub email settings, repository default branch settings, and my contribution graph if needed.

Thank you.

I checked the public data for ashishagrawal0999/cpp-dsa. The four linked commits are consecutive ancestors of the current main tip, GitHub attributes each commit to ashishagrawal0999, and their author/committer dates are all September 22 (15:50–15:56 UTC). Public push events also show each commit reaching refs/heads/main that afternoon. Yet the profile contribution API currently reports only one commit contribution for this repository on September 22. So the discrepancy is reproducible from GitHub's own public data; it is not just a screenshot or a timezone difference.

GitHub's contribution requirements include a linked author email and a commit on the default branch of a non-fork repository. Those public branch/repository/author checks look satisfied here. I cannot independently see whether the email is verified in your account settings, so your screenshot is useful. GitHub's troubleshooting guide says qualifying commits can take up to 24 hours to appear; these four were pushed over 39 hours ago.

At this point I would contact GitHub Support with the four commits (7f52315, 40bff1b, 9cb5230, f74b543), the main push times, your September 22 graph count, and the verified-email screenshot (send that privately). Ask them to check contribution indexing/attribution for those specific SHAs. There is no need to rewrite working Git history just to refresh the graph. I cannot determine the internal indexing cause from public data, so I would avoid calling it a confirmed GitHub-wide outage.
