difficulty terrain disagrees between profile stats and gc.com

Question

Looking at my Difficulty Terrain chart in my profile stats on project-gc.com, it shows 10 terrain 2 difficulty 4.5 caches.  If I look at the same chart on https://www.geocaching.com/my/statistics.aspx it shows 9.  

This seems inconsistent. Accounting for lab caches, I would expect gc.com to have more caches not fewer.

Is anyone else seeing similiar issues?

Comments

Maybe one of those T 2/D 4.5 caches has been edited in T/D ratings? Then PGC may not yet have detected the changes.

That is a distinct possibility.  However the discrepancy has been there a while, multiple weeks to months.

This post also serves as a note to better quantify that length of time.

Answer 1

Labcaches have no DT and are not included int the DT matrix. If you look at total number of finds they are the same

It can take 90 days for a change in a archive cache to be detected and 60 days on a active cache

There is more changes on D2T2 to D2.5T2

But the one you are looking for is the D4.5T2  to D4.5T2.5 change

take all caches from of DT you have found and refresh by gccode on support/selfe support/refresh and the DT matrix will be updated next time the profile stats are generated

The change finally hit project gc.  

Thanks. I had not realized it took quite so long. Well some challenges are now more work.  Oh well.
