Why do updates from a CDIF upload sometimes take several hours to reflect in the system?

Following a successful CDIF upload, multiple backend batches—such as the Refresh Batch, Risk Batch, and Analytics Batches (Supplier and Event)—are automatically triggered. These batches are executed sequentially, not in parallel.
Batch processing operates on a queue-based system, meaning each batch starts only after the currently running batch and any previously queued batches are completed.
Due to this dependency, there is no fixed or standard turnaround time for completion. The total processing time depends on the queue load at that moment.
