According to miHoYo 2024 payment system white paper disclosure, global players encountering honkai star rail top up delay average probability is 7.3%, among which credit card payment delay rate highest (12.6%), Alipay lowest (3.8%). Technical team logs show, when order volume exceeds 4500 transactions per second, payment gateway response time increases from baseline 0.2 seconds to 1.8 seconds (800% increase), causing during January 2024 “Xianzhou Luofu” version update peak period, delayed delivery rate surged to 19.4%. Test data indicates, adopting HTTP/3 protocol optimized network transmission reduced international players top-up arrival time from average 9 minutes 36 seconds to 2 minutes 17 seconds (76.3% efficiency improvement), this solution already covered 83% server nodes in March 2024.
Payment chain analysis shows, Apple Store in-app purchase delay mainly originates from receipt verification stage, in 2023 due to Apple server failure caused “Honkai: Star Rail” order backlog exceeding 120,000 transactions (involving about ¥7.8 million), miHoYo technical team deployed edge computing nodes to compress verification time from 28 seconds to 0.9 seconds. Google Play payment data indicates, enabling TLS 1.3 encryption increased payment package transmission success rate from 94.1% to 99.6%, but SSL handshake time increased 0.03 seconds may cause 0.7% additional delay. Typical case is during 2023 Double Eleven period, a player initiated 5 consecutive 648 RMB top ups only 3 arrived, system automatically replenished after 18 hours 37 minutes, this event triggered payment system upgrade to real-time reconciliation mechanism (error rate <0.001%).
Player operation data statistics show, using Wi-Fi 6E network for honkai star rail top up arrival speed (average 3.2 seconds) 3.7 times faster than 4G network. April 2024 tests indicate, directly invoking payment SDK (version 2.4.5) in-game achieves 99.3% arrival success rate, while through third-party browser redirect payment success rate drops to 91.8%. A payment platform accident report shows, December 2023 due to CDN node load imbalance caused Southeast Asian players top-up delays exceeding 1 hour accounted for 6.9%, technical team deployed dynamic routing algorithm controlled delay rate within 0.3%. Consumer behavior research points out, immediately switching accounts after top up extends arrival confirmation time by 42%, system added “payment process screen lock protection” feature reduces such interference.
