Are they token counts based on the daily reward equation? A breakdown of the contribution score? Discrete event counts? Some other thing? Mine haven't changed since yesterday. Meanwhile, the daily stats at the bottom are completely different, and do appear to be real time totals for the day.\n\nEven if this is not malfunctioning, I think we definitely need tooltips or something to explain how this information is supposed to be used. This piece of the UX schema is not intuitive, and until it can be made intuitive, it will remain a liability when onboarding new users, rather than an asset.\n\nYou already show us the equation.
