Users of the Duolingo app have reported a concerning issue with their Quest Points, with many noticing discrepancies in their totals. One user recounted a significant drop of five points overnight, directly linked to completing a Friends Quest with a family member. This particular user initially had 47 points but found their total reduced to 42 the next day, raising suspicions about the app's reliability in tracking earned points.
Quest Points are awarded for completing various tasks, such as finishing lessons or using the app for a specific duration. Accumulating enough points within a month earns users a badge. However, the reported losses have led to frustration and confusion among users, prompting discussions on platforms like Reddit.
Many individuals have shared similar experiences, with posts lamenting the sudden loss of points and expressing disbelief at the app's tracking accuracy. Titles of these posts include "Why am I losing quest points?" and "Duolingo steals quest points from me?", indicating a widespread concern among the app's community.
