I have the “Automatically track topics I enter” option set to “Immediately”.  
I remember that whenever I would enter a new topic, the notification level would update to “Tracking” right away.  
Nowadays, it requires a reload of the page to be updated.

I can’t test this right now, because I’m “Tracking” all the categories on Meta.

For me, they are not even changing after refreshing the page.

This is a pretty tricky timing bug, fixed here
