Perfect Move Month award not granted after pausing rings

Hello,


Question about the perfect move month (closing the move ring everyday of a given month). I have earned this award before, even in a month that I paused my rings for a day or two.


This past November, however, I did not earn the award despite closing my move ring everyday that my rings were active. I did pause the rings for the last two days of the month and am now wondering if having the rings paused on the last day of the month somehow confused the algorithm, resulting in the award not being given.


Has anyone experienced the same thing? Any solution other than make sure not to pause my rings on the last day of a month?


Thanks for any feedback or help.

To clarify, since I guess you did not understand, it is the daily move goal for the month. To do that, only the move ring needs to be closed. And, turning off rings for a day, or a few days, will usually not affect that. For instance, in April 2025, I closed the move ring 26 days. The other four I paused my rings. I still earned the perfect move month badge since I closed the move ring every day that was counted.


The only difference I can see with November, as I said, was I paused my rings the last day of the month. That is the only thing I can see that is different than my previous experience.
