I recently down-voted this off topic question: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/132940/chess-championship Why was I not awarded the badge "critic" within the next minute? It seemed to work almost instantly on other SE sites.

\$\begingroup\$ I don't know for sure, but maybe it only works for answers? Depends, if you tested it on questions on other SE sites, then it might be a caching issue. \$\endgroup\$– hyper-neutrino ModJul 18, 2017 at 4:24

\$\begingroup\$ It also might be the case that the question was deleted before you received the badge, preventing it from being awarded to you. \$\endgroup\$– Wheat Wizard ModJul 18, 2017 at 4:51

\$\begingroup\$ Weird, I've also downvoted and VTCd several off topic questions and have only received it once.. \$\endgroup\$– musicman523Jul 18, 2017 at 5:00

Badges are handed out in batches throughout the day, different batch jobs handle different badge types.

You must have been lucky on other sites.
I note that you do have the badge, awarded about half an hour after posting this question, so as a support issue I think it is resolved.
