martcole Aug 2022 8:01am, 7 Aug 2022 5 posts	0 martcole Confused of Norwich I went to bed last night with (from memory) about 7523 points on Fetchpoint thinking I will wake up this morning with my 200 bonus points ((No red bugs) taking me over my previous high of 7578 woohoo. BUT no I wake up to 7417, despite my points activity saying I have 200 points this morning. Anyone else, or can you explain?! Cheers
Bob! Aug 2022 8:59am, 7 Aug 2022 3,911 posts	0 Bob! The points are based on a rolling 30 days, so day 31's points have dropped off.

Bright Strider Aug 2022 9:10am, 8 Aug 2022 307 posts	0 Bright Strider On the other hand, it does lend a certain perspective to the game. The points are only for 30 days, so missing a bug on one day only matters for 30 days, however much it matters. Also, if the points never dropped off, no newcomers would have a chance.

I also recognise this situation. If it helps, I've come to view my Fetchpoint score a bit like my race times - I'm not going to get notably faster unless I make some substantial changes to the way I approach my training and, since that seems far too much like hard work at the expense of enjoyment, that's not something I want to do. I must, therefore, satisfy myself with maintaining my current level. Same goes for Fetchpoint - I'm where I can be within the constraints of my life choices and I'm at peace with that.
