D/T statistics different in GC and Project-GC

[+MaxB on the River]

We are working on filling our D/T grid for the 5th time.  Looked in Geocaching and it shows we have completed 5 times.  However Project-GC has different totals, some higher, some lower and only shows 4 times.  Why is there a difference.  Looking at Lab and Locationless caches doesn't seem to solve the differences.  The differences are throughout the grid.

Do you have a paid membership with PGC?

because if not, PGC will only update your stats once a week

[+MaxB on the River]

Yes we have a premium membership to both GC and Project-GC.

I think you might be better of asking this in the PGC Q&A https://project-gc.com/qa/

As GC is leading and PGC just "downloads" the information using the API so they should be able to see why the difference is there

what happens if an CO changes his D/T rating after a user has logged?
Is the database (grid) build up,

• when the user logs a cache
• otherwise, the service must reload every cache a user has logged and must use the actual D/T rating for building the grid.

you have 5 found caches with D/T 1/4.5

check D/T rating by opening the cache listings, all 5 caches have 1/4.5 -> pgc is wrong

Thank you balu2003,  I hadn't thought to search my finds with the specific D/T rating.  I wonder what happens if a challenge checker will recognize the current GC caches.
