Policies you create in Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) don't take effect instantly. This article explains why and what to do if waiting doesn't resolve the issue.
My newly created policy isn't taking effect. Why?
This is expected behavior. SASE uses a 1-minute heartbeat to sync with the SASE client, and a newly pushed policy takes up to 5 minutes to propagate to a POP access point of Alibaba Cloud.
The following scenarios can occur:
Zero trust policies — access still fails after the policy is created
USB denylist policies — USB devices remain usable after the policy is pushed
Anti-uninstallation policies — the SASE client can still be uninstalled
Watermarking policies — watermarks don't appear after the policy is pushed
Wait 5 minutes, then verify whether the policy has taken effect.
My policy still isn't working after 5 minutes
If your policy does not take effect after 5 minutes, provide feedback and report logs.
