Helpful Vote not Working Even After a Few Days

Sorry, I know this question has been repeated to death but how do I actually know if the system doesn't just discards my helpful/non-helpful review vote. I saw another forum which told me it's not displayed right away but I've waited about 1-2 days and nothing has changed. Votes on other reviews changed but they're not mine. How long does it usually take until it actually shows up?

Hi Vinyl- When you vote a review helpful or unhelpful, for a limited period of time we do display your vote on the page and increase the count for the review to confirm your vote has been submitted. However, the votes are not actually counted in real-time and nor are your votes permanently available for you to see on each review later. If you return later, your vote will have been counted (and the number of helpful/unhelpful votes increased to include yours) but due to technical limitations we are unable to show your helpful/unhelpful votes permanently. Cheers!

Thank you for replying, Maya! Just to confirm, though, it would sometimes take more than 2-3 days, right?

@Vinyl- You're welcome! If it's been three days and you are not seeing the vote reflected, please let us know.

Unfortunately, my votes still aren’t displayed after 6-7 days. Not sure if this is because I voted too much back when I didn’t know it won’t be reflected immediately, so it got flagged as spam. Mainly, I thought this review https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0166924/reviews/?item=rw10115100&ref_=ext_shr_lnk missed the point of the film so I voted it as unhelpful

@Vinyl- Hi again, I can confirm that the appropiate team has reviewed the votes and yours is already counted for on that review.
