REPRO STEPS
Open tabs on different devices.  Visit chrome://history/syncedTabs.

ACTUAL RESULTS
Synced tabs are not updated; that page says "6 days ago" for other devices.

EXPECTED RESULTS
Synced tabs are updated.

ADDITIONAL INFO
Syncing seems to be working otherwise; for example, deleting a bookmark on one device caused it to disappear on other devices shortly thereafter.

I'm seeing the same behaviour (synced tabs not updated) on my other devices too:  on Chrome OS beta (58.0.3029.89) and on Android Chrome Dev (60.0.3087.3).

Interesting, it shows SESSIONS as being throttled. There was a bug that was recently fixed where we can get stuck in a per-data type throttled state forever. The commit was https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/1d37839e54566033090fbb82f89dd1dba04c3621 and the first build that this made it into was 60.0.3088.0.

The throttle thresholds are a little bit restrictive, this is a known issue. People who do a lot of browsing hit them occasionally. This wouldn't be that much of a problem if there wasn't a bug that kept types stuck in a throttled state.

Two options, restart your browser and sessions data will work again (unless you get a throttled response again), or update to a newer version (60.0.3088.0+). You only need to do this on the client that's getting throttled, not any of the ones that are trying to receive the data.
