As you can see in the screenshot, I added a data point that more than got me into the orange but the countdown counter doesn’t seem to have noticed:

(The 1205 number is what I needed to do today to get out of the red; I actually did 2500.)

I don’t know if it’s related, but lately I’ve noticed on several goals that it takes quite some time for the graph to update after adding a data point—we’re talking several minutes. This is the first time it’s updated without actually updating, though (if you follow my wording).

Just checked it again, and the graph has now updated. Leaving this here, however, in case it does actually signal something worth looking into. The update lag is a new thing, and appears to be getting worse over the course of the past week.
