This is a background process

As we perform processing on the uploaded image to ensure it's compatible/optimized for various clients, this endpoint will return a 202 (Accepted) response as long everything looks good to start. The processing may fail silently in the background. If you want to be completely sure this process has completed, you can poll the GET /users/:id endpoint and watch for the avatar field to change.

In practice, the processing should be complete and committed on the order of minutes, but may take up to an hour depending on other system load.
