Following scenario:

1. user registers, has 1 point
2. user visits chat, notes he cannot post because of only 1 point and needs 20
3. user goes back to SO, answers a question. gets enough points to chat
4. user goes back to chat, but his profile still shows 1 point

Now my questions:

* How long does it take for the profile on chat to update?
* Is there a way to force updating?

Update:
Logging in and out did not help.
