Skip option not working properly for non-daily habits

Bug Report

I’ve noticed what seems like a bug or at least inconsistent behavior regarding streaks and skipping habits.

For daily habits, if I skip a day and continue the next day, my streak still continues from before. That feels fine.

But for habits like once a week, once a month, or a few times a week, if I skip even one time, the streak resets completely.

So I don’t really understand the point of the “skip” option here. If I skip, shouldn’t the streak stay the same like it does for daily habits?

    Hi @Deepthi !

    Thanks for sharing your concern.

    Can I have some screenshots to make sure I understand your concern correctly and assist you at my best?

      Sure, please find the attached screenshots for reference.

      The screenshot below shows a task that I complete once a week. During the last week of March, I didn’t have time to finish it, so I marked it as skip. However, this caused my streak to reset. As you can see, my streak has now dropped to 2 weeks.

      The screenshot below shows a daily habit that I have skip multiple times, yet as you can see, I still have an 8-days streak.

      This is why the behavior feels inconsistent. For non-daily habits, such as weekly ones, I would expect the streak to be maintained when the task is marked as skip, similar to how it works for daily habits.

      It would be great if this behavior could be aligned across all habit types.

        Hi! Thanks for your information!

        If you want to protect your weekly-based streak, you need to mark all days in the week, that your habit is scheduled on, as skipped.

          I followed your suggestion and marked all the days in the week as “skip,” but I still didn’t get my streak back. I’ve attached a screenshot for reference. could you please take a look and help me resolve this?
