Please properly implement the Last.fm Scrobbling API! Here: https://www.last.fm/api/scrobbling

For start, tracks should be scrobbled only if they've been played for 50% of their duration or for 4 minutes, whichever sooner. Currently, Deezer scrobbles them regardless (and only after the next song has started).

Second, please also make Deezer send the "Now Playing" notification immediately when the track starts.

Implementation of any other aspects of the API are appreciated as well. Thanks!

Yes, it started yesterday when only a few scrobbles were submitted. This morning most of them have been added, it seems.

I guess it's taking a while. A lot of mine are still missing.

There probably is a backlog due to some failure, my current Deezer scrobbles are also dripping in at the moment. I don't know how caching scrobbles works with Deezer's internal scrobbling option, so I can only guess. Using their web player together with the Web Scrobbler browser extension should work though.

I just have to be patient then (when it comes to deezer and last.fm seems like that's the only choice we ever have anyways). I just keep refreshing the page because I'm looking for this one song that came up on my flow. I'll just check my listening history instead. I don't want to forget what I was looking for.

Deezer also has an internal listening history, hidden in the dropdown menu of the More tab on My Music page. You have to scroll down to see earlier played tracks, and it does not go back very far, but maybe it is enough for you to find that specific song.
