I'm thinking we will retroactively award them since it can be a bit messy determining a clear cut start date for streaks to count for badges. It would be easier to just count all streaks rather than those after X date.I'm assuming that like the Best Day/Week ever badges, the streak badges won't be retroactive... or will they?Originally Posted by HyruleBalverine

Makes sense; especially given how big some people's streaks have gotten in the past. Looking forward to the next updateI'm thinking we will retroactively award them since it can be a bit messy determining a clear cut start date for streaks to count for badges. It would be easier to just count all streaks rather than those after X date.Originally Posted by GTN Eric

They shouldn't be but I'll check.They are based on the time zone you have selected here. If you choose to change your time zone, your streaks will be recalculated so perhaps your time zone is different than what you have set on TA?Originally Posted by GTN Eric

Oh boy, so it turns out this was related to an old bug (circa 2013-2015) that has been fixed for some time now. Previously synced achievements never got updated to address it, that is until now. Albeit very slowly...Originally Posted by GTN Eric
So basically, during those few years I did not realize the timestamps were coming in at UTC/GMT and stupidly compared this UTC timestamp with the server timestamp which was based on my local timezone (GMT-5, Central US). Wait, it gets worse... The system would then check if that UTC timestamp was greater than (i.e. later in time) than the current server time anytime the syncing process would run. If so, then it would update the timestamp to match the server timestamp (what was I even thinking?!).
This means if you unlocked an achievement and it synced up sometime within that 5 hour difference between GMT-0 and GMT-5 it would assume the unlock timestamp was the current server timestamp - completely ignoring the actual, correct UTC timestamp that should've been used.
Now, to begin fixing these timestamps I will force an update to gradually resync everyone's achievements prior to 2016. This process will go through and update any timestamps that don't match what we have in the database. Once this is complete, I will rebuild everyone's streaks to ensure what we have is accurate.
