Problem
Customers reported that grades were not updating correctly in their LMS gradebook after corrections or retakes. From the user's perspective, the system was calculating credit correctly, but the LMS was not reflecting updated grades, leading to confusion and repeated support escalations.
Investigation
Reviewed sync logs and LMS response data to identify where grade updates were being rejected. Found that the LMS was returning a constraint indicating “maximum number of attempts reached,” which prevented updated grades from being written back to the gradebook even though the system had successfully processed the correction.
Resolution
Guided customers through updating their LMS assignment settings to allow unlimited attempts. Once updated, performed grade resync to confirm updates were correctly reflected in the LMS gradebook and verified expected behavior across multiple accounts.
Impact
Reduced repeat support tickets related to grade discrepancies and improved resolution time for similar issues. Findings contributed to a system-wide notification feature that proactively alerts clients when LMS attempt settings may block grade updates, preventing future sync confusion.
