Thanks for reporting it! I’ve got a fix in process here:

> If you visit \`/my/badges\`, and click through to the badge page (.e.g, \`badges/130/licensed\`), then return to your profile the badge state from the badge page leaks through... so you get a green checkmark icon that should never appear on your profile, as this is already a list of granted badges

> 
> additionally \`has\_badge\` is stored in shared cache, so when clicking the badge from your profile you can see the granted state flicker on before the transition completes 
> 
> the fix is to only let the badge index and global badge pages write to \`has\_badge\`, and to have \`DBadgeCard\` get the badge explicitly from a \`@granted\` argument that isn't present on user profiles
