Profile Bio update is not immediately reflected by the authenticated user-profile API
JouySandbox
Summary
After editing and saving a VRChat profile Bio, the authenticated API response used by our integration continued returning the previous Bio value. Updating the Status Description afterward caused the API to return the current Bio.
Reproduction steps
- Open a VRChat user profile in the VRChat client/site.
- Change the Bio to a new, unique value, such as TEST-BIO-123.
- Save the profile changes.
- Retrieve the user profile through an authenticated API integration.
- Observe that the returned bio field may still contain the previous value.
- Edit and save the Status Description field.
- Retrieve the profile again.
Expected result
After saving a Bio change, the authenticated user-profile API should return the new value in bio immediately, or the API/client should document the expected propagation delay.
Actual result
The API continued returning a stale bio value after the Bio was saved. Saving a change to statusDescription caused the updated Bio to become visible in the API response as well.
Impact
Our account-linking flow validates a short verification code placed in the profile Bio. A user can correctly save the code but still fail verification because the API returns a cached/stale Bio value. As a temporary workaround, we accept the code in either Bio or Status Description.

In game and website bio updates

When I update my VRChat bio on the website, the changes don't appear in the actual game. My website bio and in-game bio are showing two different versions of my bio. I've tried updating and syncing them multiple times, but the in-game bio never changes. I've been trying to fix this, but nothing seems to work.

Experiencing the exact same issue , its a problem as services like VRCLinking rely on a code in BIO to check for account ownership , the seperation between website and ingame completely breaks this as the API endpoints send the ingame data while most people add the code via the website
