# 2.7 - I don’t see my rewards every 4 or 8 hours. Is there a problem ?

Sometimes the distribution of rewards may be delayed, and can take more than 4 to 8 hours to propagate. (Especially if you are waiting for your first cycle of rewards.)

The reason is that the function of distributing tokens to nodes requires **large amounts of gas**, and the transaction sometimes fails.  🛠 We've reduced the time between distributions to every 4 hours (instead of 8 hours).

**Important : The rewards and expected distribution time are an estimate. Its is not 100% guaranteed that noders will be always rewarded in accordance with the expected schedule. Rewards can lower or increase depending on the market fluctuations and the evolution of the SAMURAI protocol.**
