Price Rule creation via API or GraphQL seems like is fine but the discount stuck on "still loading"

[ManuelLop]

I tried for 3 days and the discount still loading. The status is "active" but doesn't works on checkout. Do I need Shopify Plus for creating a price rule from API or GraphQL? Is this "still loading" a Shopify Issue?

Hey @ManuelLop 

Can you pass us the x-request-id response header from your mutation/POST or provide a link to what you are seeing?

This is my mutation/POST response:

{"data":{"priceRuleCreate":{"priceRule":{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/PriceRule\/xxxxxxxxxxxx"},"priceRuleUserErrors":[]}},"extensions":{"cost":{"requestedQueryCost":10,"actualQueryCost":10,"throttleStatus":{"maximumAvailable":1000.0,"currentlyAvailable":990,"restoreRate":50.0}}}}

Thanks to @OliUK he actually found a solution and this is:

I've got this working now. I found a guide online where the author creates the price rule first, then creates the discount afterwards. I think my problem was either the API nested discount code doesn't work when on the same call that creates the price rule OR you just have to make the discount and price rule separately OR you just have to code the prefix options this way.
I've pasted the relevant code below. PD: I tested and works perfectly well.

@price_rule = ShopifyAPI::PriceRule.create(
      title: "CrumbDiscount",
      target_type: "line_item",
      target_selection: "all",
      allocation_method: "across",
      value_type: "percentage",
      value: "-20.0",
      customer_selection: "all",
      starts_at: Time.now.iso8601, 
      usage_limit: 1
    )

    #create a new discount code
    discount_code = ShopifyAPI::DiscountCode.new
    discount_code.prefix_options[:price_rule_id] = @price_rule.id
    discount_code.code = "20Off#{rand(10 ** 10)}"
    discount_code.save
    render json: discount_code
