I was following these instructions (https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/load-balancers/how-to/create/) and found that the load balancer was having a problem due to the PROXY protocol, where it was mangling traffic. There are no instructions I could find on how to set up the droplets to properly receive the proxy protocol traffic, so I instead disabled it. However, my load balancer resources on-cluster don’t seem to update, continuing to have ‘true’ as the value of use-proxy-protocol in the ConfigMap and the service.beta.kubernetes.io/do-loadbalancer-enable-proxy-protocol in the service. How long should it take for these to be reconciled?

Heya,
When you change certain settings in your load balancer configuration, Kubernetes should update these changes relatively immediately. However, propagation can sometimes take a little while due to the nature of distributed systems.
If you find that the changes are not being implemented even after a while, I suggest deleting and recreating the load balancer or the services causing an issue. Be mindful to check and make sure the proxy protocol is disabled when you do so.
For detailed instructions on how to work with load balancers and services in Kubernetes, you can follow the documentation in the provided link.
