As an administrator or store owner, when you update the discount value for a customer within an existing "Program" or modify the "Program" associated with a specific affiliate from the "Affiliate" tab, please note that updates to Affiliate Coupons (located under Woocommerce -> Marketing -> Coupons) may take up to a minute. This is due to changes being applied via a scheduled cron job.
