I understand that you might think it's Ingress related and thus decided to on Ingress forum quote your own post in Wayfarer forum which quotes your own Telegram channel that is "advising players to hold nomination". However I don't see how this would affect XMA. And may I ask for any proof that "Niantic turned off Portal Sync for the weekend" for Epiphany Dawn intentionally?
Last time I encounter problems with portals during XMA was one portal in Busan, Korea affiliated to an XMA Mission is suddenly relocated to somewhere far away right before the Mission Day. But I can't imagine how could Wayfarer sync problem that occurs regularly affect Anomaly Battle. Could you kindly advise? Thanks!
You seem to dislike whatever I do, so not sure I can win 😆
But lots of players lost approved nominations during Munich, as sync was switched off during that time (likely so it didn’t mess with portal locations etc. maybe?). It was switched back on, but many Portals that meet inclusion rules still haven’t synced from that time, including many where agents paid for OPR Live tickets.
Not saying that they will turn it off for Epiphany Dawn, as I can’t prove that they will, but just basing it on the previous event. Would rather that some good nominations not be lost forever.
You don’t have to pay attention to anything I say, just trying to share to be helpful and generate discussions. Enjoy your day!
Portals synced last night at some point. Image sync appears to be broken yet again though. more than a week waiting for new approved images to show up. Not surprised though.
That's based on my own knowledge. I don't submit images that frequently. I did in the past 2 weeks, and they were approved in less than a week, they just aren't live in the portal network yet, so I know that the sync hasn't happened in that time frame. I submitted a portal this past weekend. Took less than 24 hours to go live. I didn't get the key / see it on intel/scanner until late last night. Thus I have that data/knowledge.
Portal photos have not been automated since before the pandemic. Niantic runs a manual upload, whenever we complain enough, around every 6-12 months. The last photo sync was September 15th, so don't expect it any time soon.
You can take matters into your own hands and force the photo sync by getting an upvote in PokemonGo OR by getting an edit approved. Often the portal has no description, or a dumb one. With a little google research, you can probably make a nicer one.
Portal images in question are not near me, it was from recent trips over the weekend, enjoying the fall colors and visiting some historical sites, ect. I'm not surprised. Most things just don't work like they should these days.

Adding a new portal to the playbox could alter the event.
If folks don’t recall the Munich sync issues, there’s still a bug thread;
The Munich Anomaly was late July;
though it was never announced that Portal Sync was off, it’s quite clear it was in the bug thread, and many are still not synced.
Thanks for sharing that info.

More than a week? I think some of my photos are lost forever to the void unless I give them a 👍 on Pokémon GO, which forces a sync to Ingress.

Best part is, I got an outhouse approved. 🤣

Maybe some tourists will visit there, and give a picture a thumbs up in PoGo.
If you have a key, maybe stick it in a "watch" capsule to check every few months.
