What issue are you seeing?

Yesterday 9/9/2026, my usage drained from 65%to 25 % with less actual usage in the analytics than previous days. Then it fluctuated like crazy and then within a short time after I was out of usage. Also throughout the day I kept getting server error messages that would take my usage then force me to use the same if not more over and over until it finally would go through. Then when trying to access my remote session from my phone, it never brought the current session into play it would never show me what as going on and only showed up until I updated the app from desktop. still to this day it wipes out anything new i add to it except short term memory on the phone. desktop is fine and collects everything but the phone doesn't work. thats the main reason i used the damn desktop app as opposed ot the cli so that i could remote in from my phone. this is my profile @patterson0407
