I have a layer being used in Survey123, which I am trying to evaluate automatically for changes to the data. I have read the extract_changes documentation and have successfully gotten the layer to tell me that changes have been made. At least that's how I'm interpreting 'responseType':'esriDataChangesResponseTypeEdits'. But then, the full response looks like this:
{'layerServerGens': [{'id': 0, 'serverGen': 48223929}],
'transportType': 'esriTransportTypeUrl',
'responseType': 'esriDataChangesResponseTypeEdits',
'edits': [{'id': 0, 'features':
{'adds': [], 'updates': [], 'deletes': []}}]}
Another interesting thing to note is that the serverGen value is different on this response than when I navigate to the service's json using the parameters '?f=pjson&returnUpdate=true'.
Has anyone seen this issue before? It looks like this is common but I haven't found a solution that works yet.

Edited to add: I have been adding records, running the script, then deleting records and running the script again and nothing ever changes except the serverGen.
