Got the badge but no points

Reload tha page with the badges

I do not quite believe that you've got the badge without points. Never saw that. Try summing up points of all your badges, I bet the total is correct.

Lol. I know exactly how many points I had before the badge was awarded and it's not gone up. I can see the new badge listed. So unless something else was coincidentally deducted at the same time I can't see how that would happen

Exactly as you wrote. You can lose a badge, for example if you edit an older activity, and it then no more meets the conditions. You can verify it easily by [converting] the [JSON list of your badges] to a CSV or Excel file, and summing it up in Excel. 

its weird if I hit that link you've provided the numbers dont add up at all.  Some of the badges there have a different points value, for example 60 day goal getter says its 4pts in the json, but 8pts on the UI

Yes, the backend has separated data, sometimes some parameters are different (like start/end dates). It looks like they sometimes change some, without changing it in downloadable json.

You can check your points here: https://garminbadges.com -> Add your badges.

That difference in points between backend and json - most likely is a bug.

When you open json for selected badge - badgeDifficultyId == badgePoints, looks like they wrongly pasted the same value into both fields.

But when open another similar badge, and check previous badge inside relatedBadges - then points for previous badge are correct.

But this is a separated bug from possibility of wrongly counting points, as points are counted by backend. So, you can still check your points sum.

I feel like we've got down a rabbit hole. I found the problem. I had lost my goal badge. I think I deleted whatever goal it was that for me the badge. All my other goals are still in play. Cheers trux for making me dog into it 

But why you downvoted my reply? Points in json are different, as you spotted by your own, it's separated thing from backend. And that website counts points and shows all earned badges, so you could easily check sum of your points there.
