I submitted a run for any% co-op glitchless four days ago and it hasn't been verified yet. But there is one run that was almost the same length as mine that was submitted today and verified today, so why is that run getting a higher priority than mine?

Depends on the case, but at least for my run, (in which basically the exact same thing happened), it was because the other runner had been running the game for a long time and was a mod.

It also depends on how many pending runs you have

Does that mean if I have more pending runs the faster it gets verified or slower??

If you have more runs, it will take longer in most cases because mods have more work to do.

Every mod prioritizes different stuff when verifying so don't assume stuff, four days isn't a lot considering we have a lot of runs pending and we have lives too, we don't just verify and the rules state runs have to be verified before 3 weeks so yeah

Okay, thanks for the info.

Currently there are 72 runs waiting to be verified going back 2 weeks, and we still need to watch each run in full and retime.

What is the first thing you see the second you submit a run

"the run might take up to 3 weeks to be verified"

So pls be patient, mods also have other things to do and they have a life too

ok

Fun fact, on speedrun.com/runsawaitingverification (where we get all pending runs) we only see 50 runs at a time. So old runs don't even appear anymore. Luckily we have a discord bot that can show those to us. If you don't want to go on discord you can also see the runs yourself here and for the category extension you can see them here. Note that all those runs are in json format and come from the speedrun.com api which you can read more about here.
