Updating autopilot status for a challenge doesn't update autopilot status in functionality

Steps to Reproduce:

This will update the status of autopilot on Online Review but the functionality won't reflect as per the status.

Hi Jaya,

We have created a test challenge on Prod environment to reproduce the issue but no luck. This issue is not reproducible on Dev env as well.

Prod challenge with AP off : https://www.topcoder.com/direct/contest/detail.action?projectId=30065164

Only the suspected thing I could think of is Database disconnection while updating the AP flag (which will not update the AP flag on database) and AP will keep continue.
