Lose 6 straight puzzles, lose 100 rating points, get six straight puzzles, get MAYBE 45 rating points.
I bounce between 2900 and 2600. Recently I missed a 2645 rated puzzle and lost 10 points.
Got a 2650 puzzle gained 5. shouldn't they be more equal. it's becoming extremely frustrated

There are some back end changes with puzzle ratings and the selection algorithm and rating changes are based on those. The rating showing in the interface currently is likely not correct.
There's work being done to update the interface to show the updated ratings

Does this mean there won't be wild fluctuations in the rating loss / gains? I have had a LOT of "extra hard" puzzles give me 5, and some puzzles that are 8 moves rated about 1800 when there is a non intuitive double sacrifice do the same. But then I'd lose 15 on a puzzle rated slightly higher than one that gave me 5.
I'm glad they are working on it on the back end. Hopefully will see an update in the next month or so!
