# Delayed account\_positions

> Potential delay of snapshot endpoints and best practice for reconstructing local state

**Question:**\
My `account_positions`/`account_orders` updates are sometimes delayed. What should I do to reliably construct a local state based on Pacifica's WS feeds?\
\
**Answer:**\
`account_positions` and `account_orders` are snapshot-driven channels. They show your current state but can be delayed under high load.\
\
For real-time updates with no delay, use our event-driven channels:

* `account_trades` - update on every fill as it happens
* `account_order_updates` - update on every order state change

We recommend using our snapshot-driven channels for initialization/checks, and our event-driven channels to construct a real-time local state.
