Have you waited for 1-2 hours and tried again? Most of the time it is some bug of Steam's API and will fix itself after some time.

open task manager then click on the steam or uplay or any program you use
then click on end task close all of tasks that runs by that program
run it again as adminstator it should work

FWIW i can sync normally in chrome with ESGST extension installed, so even though there's 2 threads reporting the same, it might be an isolated incident or some kind of update on your browser, extensions or something like that

I just activated a game on my account just now to see if the sync would work properly. It seems to be working fine. That game no longer shows up, as expected, in the list of giveaways for me to enter.
I use Chrome, no additional/special site extensions/tools.

Sync is bugged for me too. I have my steam profile set to public, and it has been set to public for years. When I click on sync account on steamgifts, steamgifts thinks my profile is set to private.

After sync I can still see giveaways for games that I own
I get this with games that were on my wishlist before I added them to my library. To fix it, I go to Steam, pull up my wishlist, make sure the game is no longer on my wishlist (removing it if it is still there), and then closing that window/tab. After that, I return to SG and sync, again. Once I've done that, those games are hidden from me. (I only use the wishlist search function.)

This problem is dragging for nearly a year now.

It fixes itself... eventually. I never encouraged it myself, but can see "waves" of ticket about this issue from time to time.

Try again and let me know if it works (I switched our IP addresses). I ran a test and it seems like Steam was blocking the requests to certain profiles from our servers. It seems strange the block would only apply to specific users though. I wonder if the affected users are using add-ons which sync their accounts at a higher than normal rate, causing some type of Steam limit to be reached.

Syncing is broken again.
I suspect this might be a load balancing issue rather than a user related one. In other words, the requests might end up flooding specific workers on Steam's side, thus blocking IP addresses on a worker level. This creates the strange illusion that only certain users are affected.
In other words, if N users sync at the same time, either manually or automatically, the requests while originating from the same server IP, they might be directed towards multiple backend workers and if one or more workers are flooded with more requests than allowed from a single IP address they might temporarily block it, thus preventing the syncing process from taking place.

I can't sync too. Same problem for a two week
UPD synced after 40 clicks
but auto sync doesn't work anyway

Curious, is there a way to see if this is a player issue or an API issue by looking at communityvisibilitystate or something similar?
I haven't used the steam API, but it seems odd that the API doesn't provide a rate exceeded exception or something similar instead of a permissions error for these issues.
Edit: To clarify, I fully expect this has been looked into, I'm just curious where the limitation is so I can go file a hopeless bug/suggestion with steam.

Hi, I cannot join giveaways, because the sync function does not work, i tried making my profile private and back, no effects.
Can it be manually changed or something?
