Rest days and streaks

Rest days keep your streak alive when you can't train. Two soft caps stop them from being a streak cheat code.

Rest days and streaks

A streak is the count of consecutive days you've trained or actively rested. Rest days exist so a single off day doesn't reset months of work — they're not a free pass, they're a way for the platform to know "I'm intentionally recovering, not ghosting."

How to log one

Tap Rest Day next to the Log Session button on your dashboard. Add an optional note (recovery, injury, travel). Your streak holds.

The two limits

CombatScore enforces two soft caps to keep the streak meaningful:

  1. Max 3 consecutive rest days. On day 4, you have to log an actual session or the streak resets. This is intentional — if you've been off for four days, the platform shouldn't pretend you're still mid-streak.
  2. 2:1 rest-to-session ratio over the last 30 days. Once your rest count hits twice your session count, you can't log more rest days until you train again.

Hit either limit and the button surfaces a clear error. Nothing breaks.

Undoing a rest day

Tap the rest day in your training history → Delete. The streak recalculates automatically.

Rest days for kids you manage

On the kid's edit page (/dashboard/family/[kid]/edit), the sticky header has a Rest Day button right next to Log session. Same anti-gaming rules apply per-kid.
