Hi @gyutaelee - this has been done!

My question has been answered.
Thank you for your kind and detailed explanations every time.

Thanks, that makes sense.

So our takeaway is that brainCloud Friends has no hard-coded friend limit, but very large friend lists can still have performance implications because friend IDs are stored in the UserProfile.

Also, since GetSocialLeaderboard returns all friends and does not support page-based access, it seems risky for us to allow very large mutual friend counts if we want to use Friends-based leaderboards for normal users.

We will discuss internally whether we should enforce product-level limits on following/follower or mutual friend counts, and reserve special handling, such as shadow leaderboards, for high-degree or influencer-like accounts.

Thanks again for the detailed guidance!

Added case 13932

Thank you for your response.

We used the automated promotion without making any changes to it. However, we confirmed that it works correctly in the production app.

It seems that the issue may have been temporary, or that there was something incorrect in our configuration at the time. If the issue occurs again, we will contact you again with more details.

Thank you for your help.

Hi @LEE-JONG-GUN,

Good news: the fix for the Segment code field clone bug has been deployed.

What changed

When you clone a Segment now, the code field is automatically appended with _copy (e.g., myCode becomes myCode_copy). The cloned segment's code field is editable, so you can change it to any unique value and save the clone successfully.

This resolves the duplicate-code issue that was preventing clones from being saved. Thanks again for the report.

The SDK is just a plain C# source library you can drop into any .NET project (not Unity-only). You can find usage examples and the source in our GitHub repositories at https://github.com/getbraincloud.

@johnh
I apologize for the late reply. I have reviewed the details you mentioned.
If the item purchase matches the mockup photo above, it appears to be quite useful.
'Helmet Equipment Enhancement Ticket'

Requires a specific item, consumes currency
These needs can be fully resolved with a single transaction.
I expect that if this feature is included for paid products as well, their utility will increase in the future.

@moondory77 brainCloud 6.0 is releasing this month (June 2026). I am really excited about the headline features for it, hope you love it!

Ah - great to hear @jongdae-won . Thanks for the update!

Added the additional details to 13660

Thank you for your kind response.

@gyutaelee I will investigate the Per Promotion Deployment option you requested.

As I was working on this I thought there may be a workaround for you that you would like. This could work for your team with minimal effort and on your current version of brainCloud portal.

My solution hides the promotion so that only users you flag as TESTERS will see it.

This would let your PROD testers gain the benefit of the no-ads promotion without disrupting your monetization.

Within Automatic Promotions, there is the option to Target members of any of these segments.

Within Scheduled Promotions, there is the option to Offer this promo to: Only users in:

Advancing to App > Design > Segmentation > Segments we can create a segment that filters to players that are flagged as Testers.

Now, segments need to have at least one more criteria, so let's choose something like has logged in at least 1 time.

Save this Segment

IMPORTANT! Add the segment to your Promotion
This will limit the promo to only eligible users. Noone else sees it!

Next we will need to flag some users as Testers. For a DEV app, the easiest way to do this is to go to the User Browser, RECENTLY ACTIVE and pick players (your testers) with recent activity.

GO TO USER to bring up their user summary and check the IsTester checkbox.

Testers get a special icon

Next, we will return to Segments.

Segments are automatically processed overnight, but you can Refresh Segments immediately with the REFRESH SEGMENTS button. Please note: refreshing segments processes every player so this process can take a while and preferably left to low-traffic times of day.

After processing completes, we can check the cohort of testers by returning to the User Browser choosing BROWSE, and Browse Within A Segment.

These are my Testers, so everything worked.

Since only testers are eligible for the promotion, you are free to deploy it to PROD without affecting your monetization. And the PROD Testers you select will be able to gain the workflow benefit of no ads.

Could you let me know if this solution solves your problem?

Let me know if you have any questions,
Regards
