Badge Challenge August Weekend 40K not being awarded August 30th

I did a 50 km bike ride today Sunday August 30th and wasn't awarded with the badge "August Weekend 40K". I did a test and moved the ride to yesterday (August 29th) and got the badge right away. I then moved the ride back to today (August 30th) and the badge was removed.

The description of the badge challenge:
"Join this challenge and record a 40-kilometer cycling activity from August 28-30."

The start and end dates for the badge are: 2020-08-28 00:00:00 and 2020-08-30 23:59:59
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/badge-service/badge/detail/v2/1203

I can only come to the conclusion that the dates are incorrectly set somewhere in the backend so that the system doesn't award the badge today.

There are currently some issues with Garmin Connect so I can't continue to test, but when it works again I will test if I get the badge if I move the ride to Thursday.

change the date to 29.08 and you will receive the badge, a just test that

Did you try editing the time, setting it just a few hours back though still on 30th, to see whether it is not caused by a wrong TZ calculation?

Same here

Then do the same as e7andy - change the date to Saturday

Did you join the Challenge (on the Challenges screen) before the ride?

Also read this post - possibly there a bug with the ending date, so try changing the date of the activity to Aug 29

I've done a few tests now. It works with 2020-08-29 23:59. It doesn't work with 2020-08-30 00:00.

I have the same issue - I've cycled 51 km today and badge was not awarded. Will it be fixed?

Hi,

I also didn't receive the August weekend 40k badge, despite a 75 km ride...

ditto, did a 70 miler this morning and no badge, tried changing the date - made no difference.

If i'd known this in advance I would have had a long lie instead ;-)
