Not a bug Sitemap not being submitted to Google

[imthebest]

Even when I have the auto submit option checked...

I manually ran the cron to generate a new sitemap and it was properly added to /internal_data/sitemaps/sitemap-xxxxxxxx-1.xml.gz however it appears that it wasn't submitted to Google. I was waiting for around 4 hours and nothing shown on Webmaster Tools so then I went ahead and manually submitted /sitemap.php to Google and it immediately got it!

Maybe it's a bug... or maybe it was just a matter of time...

Google doesn't list sitemaps in webmaster tools unless they were submitted via webmaster tools: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2409931?hl=en

You can verify in your access logs as to whether or not Google accessed your sitemap from when it was built/submitted.
