@bee

So I’m very confused about this - if I follow the exact same specific steps I listed here:

> [@Another retroratchet bug: daily total resets](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/another-retroratchet-bug-daily-total-resets/4242/3):
>
> Steps to reproduce: Set up a goal requiring 2 units/day, due in 3 days Log 1 of the 2 units today Retrorachet to 0 days Expected outcome: As I’ve logged one out of two today, then noticed the number of safe days was too high, I would expect that correcting the problem preserves the number I need to do today. Actual outcome: Retroracheting resets to the full daily amount due today, ignoring how many I’ve actually done. I’m very sure that’s not the more natural behavior. It’s surprising and…

I no longer get the same results as when I originally submitted the bug report.

So has beeminder changed in some other way such that those steps lead to a different result somehow? Or did I make a mistake somehow?

Trying to understand what happened.
