Unreal plugin update that's reported Live on Fab is not showing in Epic Launcher

Summary

I posted an update to my plugin last week, and I got the approval email after a few days, it was set to go live immediately. But several days later, the plugin update is not showing in the Epic Launcher. Even if you uninstall the plugin and re-install it, you still get the previous version.

Checking on the Fab publisher admin the status is simply “Live”, and the Included Files > Unreal Engine section lists all the correct updated versions. There is no “Publish” button in the top-right suggesting the update has been put live.

Thanks, all fixed now.
(it wasn’t just me so not a local problem, something got stuck on Epic’s end but they fixed it)
