Data status

Retailer refresh status.

Health now combines source coverage, recent successful activity and crawler errors. A small stale tail no longer marks an otherwise current catalog as critical.

Freshness rule

Product rankings only use in-stock offers with valid normalized prices refreshed within the last 14 days. Retailer health uses percentage thresholds, recent run outcomes and target errors; offer eligibility is still decided individually.

Across all retailers: 2,722 of 3,128 offers (87%) are currently live-eligible; 2,301 (74%) were refreshed within 24 hours.

Most recent recorded activity: Nov 10, 2026, 3:37 AM UTC.

How this affects price pages

A retailer-level warning does not automatically make every offer ineligible. Every offer carries its own update timestamp, stock status and normalized price. Once an offer is older than 14 days, it is excluded from best-price ranking until a fresh observation returns.

The live-eligible count can be lower than 14-day source freshness because out-of-stock observations remain useful for catalog matching and history but do not participate in current ranking.

Price history is kept separately from current ranking. Historical in-stock observations remain available even when today's retailer availability changes.

Why publish this?

Cigar prices and inventory can change between crawls. Showing the reason behind each health state makes it easier to distinguish a broad source failure from a small number of aging listings.
