Bad Habit: incorrect streak count for habit to limit

It seems that the habit streak is not correctly counting failed days, which leads to an inaccurate visual representation of the streak

    Hi Minh,

    I’m struggling to understand why a week is marked as completed and the streak maintained, even if there are two or more failed days.

    This seems to go against the very definition of a “streak”, which should reflect a series of consecutive successful days.

    I’m sorry, but this feels like a flawed analysis and an inaccurate behaviour of the app.

    The way data is presented in the graphs is also misleading (failed days aren’t properly reflected) and streaks don’t seem to be taken into account as they should.

    This results in confusing or inaccurate feedback for the user.

      Hi @Rui Correia ! Thanks for your update.

      Can I have a screenshot of the habit's detailed settings? So I can have more information of the case and assist you further better.

        Hi Minh,

        This habit is defined as Quit habit (No more than 1 time per week allowed - but actually changed to 0 times per week now) Maybe would be easier to change this habit to a normal since it will reflect everything correctly. I can just name it with a “Q” or “x” on its name.

          Thank you so much, Rui!

          In case of changing the goal, the new goal is applied from the day you make the change.

          Also, did you log the progress for date 1st and 5th of June, or just mark the habit as failed? Since for the bad habits, marking the habit fail just change status for the day, not change the progress value.

          It may be the reason why even though you already went over the goal but the rest of the week does not mark as failed.

            I log them as failed manually as instructed before, since checking the habit normally wasn’t counting as well.

            Also, having a “Succeed” button on a habit that is meant to be quit doesn’t really make sense. I believe I’ve mentioned this before; maybe the team doesn’t agree or has a different reasoning behind it. In my view, I want to log a habit to quit only when I fail. If I succeed, there should be no need for input… and so, success should be counted automatically as long as no failure is logged.

              “Success” is counted automatically for bad habits if by the end of the day, the total progress is 0 or under the limitation set in the goal to limit.

              The concept of quick check-in button is for the positive log (in our POV when designing it). But yes, we do realize that it is not accurate when doing the track on bad habits. The team have not done anything yet just simply because it is not the sprint about upgrading the bad habits or revamping the Journal view all over again. But once the planning starts, I will definitely highlight it to the team.

              My team and I appreciate your feedback!

    Hello Rui!

    Thank you for sharing!

    For the weekly habit, as long as the weekly goal is achieved, your week will be counted to your current streak.

    As I see in your picture, the failed days seem to be marked manually. It is because for the weekly habit, if you fail your goal since Sunday, the whole week should be marked as failed.
