ASF unable to find any games to idle

"We don't have anything to idle on this account!"
A few days ago there were about 200 games left to idle. Today there is 0.
When manually checking I do still have about 190 games that have card drops remaining.

Not sure if related but over the last few days my account has also stopped loading properly and requires me to refresh a couple of times for it to display my friend list, level ect (Shows up as a level 0 account). This happens about 80% of the time. Also when trying to craft badges I constantly get errors loading card information which requires many reloads to fix and makes leveling basically impossible.

Hoping someone could explain to me what is happening and how I can fix it.

ASF gets its idling data directly from Steam website, if Steam website is reporting invalid data then it's not ASF issue in the first place, since ASF can't force Steam to stop talking trash.

Of course you can report this issue and otherwise ask for help, but there is nothing in ASF to fix or improve regarding this. Since ASF has a feature to automatically check for badges in fixed intervals, if you left it running then sooner or later it'll receive proper data and start doing its thing regardless.

Do you have ASF running several times? Sounds like a session timeout.

Nope it's only running once

Go ahead and either add me, or hop on to Discord and ping me. I'd like to actually discuss with you about this one, since it seems like an actual valid complication.

Same here, the first time it didn't work. The second time it did.
Not experiencing the issues described in the rest of the post though.

Woah, thought I was the only one with this. I currently have the same issue. And also loading profile issues (which I originally thought was just my connection), due to this I suspect maybe it has something to do with Steam servers? Not sure yet same exact thing you've stated.

I wasn't able to solve his profile issues, but it's unrelated to ASF. Just redownload ASF and create fresh configs, see if that fixes it. I think fixing his ASF was just a case of Valve fuckup and fixed itself.

@Archi how often does that happen?

How often Valve fuckups happen? Several times daily.

Even that might be an understatement ...

Steam's servers are getting worse and worse. I can't get Archi to continue idling for more than half hour or hour at a time the past few days before it gets bad data from Steam and gives up (with a big, incomprehensible purple error message in the DOS window) and won't start idling again unless I restart it.
