Manually adding sleep data

[quartz magnet]

@cloud hemlock just to clarify you mentioned you didn’t get a biscuit…

You did your manual entry before the maintenance?

Hahaha. I know right

@brave wigeon has done a post maintenance test

The manual sleep done by Cleffa is after maintenance

And then the biscuit given might be tonight

We can wait for Cleffa’s result tonight

[last wagon]

Finger cross

I'll find my out Sunday morning

[tender rain]

yes I did.

and based on some of your replies afterward I followed the same steps as you

[agile badger]

I had entered manual on thursday pre maintenance, pre 4 am.
Friday morning post maintenance got 1 biscuit.
Today Saturday morning still got 1 bonus biscuit :(
It didnt work for me

[tender rain]

yeah exactly above

[quartz magnet]

I see.. so you got the single biscuit of the day..

then maintenance happened right…

And then the next day night you slept again, and then you got 1 bonus biscuit?

That is so strange

Why did it behave differently for some of us?

[quartz magnet]

Seems to be the same for you too huh

I think the difference here is…

The same Thursday when we entered manual sleep..

We did the night sleep for our usual daily with a score of 82. The biscuit we got… that is the difference

My Thursday night biscuit after manual entry was pre-maintenance. I got it and then 2 hours later maintenance started

[agile badger]

82 sleep score was a single bonus biscuit which I got post maintenance

[quartz magnet]

But your Thursday night biscuits after manual entry. Was post maintenance

[agile badger]

Did you collect it before the maintenance started?

[quartz magnet]

Which post maintence they kept a record

That then negates the next day’s bonus 2

[sand panther]

hmm i logged a manual nap on thursday and slept after the maintenance, but i still got 2 biscuits

[tender rain]

yeah thats what isnt discovered just yet

somene in here even entered their manual entry AFTER maintenance

and still got it the next days sleep

[agile badger]

I will try entering manual today as usual. Lets see if I get 2 bonus biscuit on monday morning when week changes

[quartz magnet]

Oh.. really? But that can’t be right…

Maintenance was just 27hours ago or so right.

[tender rain]

it ended 12:30 EST or so. the day changes 4AM EST

so it is possible to do that

[brave wigeon]

Mine will be entirely after I'll let you know if I get 2

[agile badger]

Maintenance started for me 6 am -10:30 am local time so it started on friday for game and I woke up after it had started. They might have seen me get 1 bonus biscuit so didnt give me extra today?

[quartz magnet]

Ah right. Cos day reset is specific to your own timezone..

[quartz magnet]

That’s my suspicion

If your manual entry day biscuit was given post maintenance, then the next day extra won’t be given..

Seems to be that

[quartz magnet]

Thanks Cleffa! Yours will be the benchmark

[sour dirge]

Should I still manual log in today on saturday or

not risk it?

[lavish sigil]

i’ll take the risk

not like i get good mons anyway

[agile badger]

I am risking, it doesnt hurt last day points anyways

[final gulch]

I didn't get 2 this morning just an fyi

[swift epoch]

same i also didn't get 2 this morning

rip

[quartz magnet]

Ah.. so they definitely patched it…

Oh man. It was good while it lasted

Once again…

[ivory beacon]

I didn’t get my second this morning 😦

I dunno why i quoted that. My discord is being strange.

[quartz magnet]

O7

[chrome bane]

I did a manual sleep entry for Thursday nights sleep which I couldn't do normally because of maintenance, got my two biscuits for Friday nights sleep this morning

So just to confirm that the intended benefit is still working

[sour dirge]

oh wow so the double biscuit isnt patched ?

[sinful igloo]

It is
It is working how it is supposed to be
If you miss a night and manually enter it you get 2x biscuits the next day

[chrome bane]

This is correct

[sour dirge]

Ah I get it

[swift epoch]

so yea it's patched

[brave wigeon]

No 2nd biscuit

[azure radish]

What happens if my first sleep is a manual sleep? Would I get to use my biscuit on the 2nd full sleep?

[agile badger]

yeah you ll use 1 bonus biscuit on 2nd sleep of day if you track it and then wont get 2 biscuits next day sleep.

[next flume]

Yep no second biscuit

Confirmed on mine as well

[tender rain]

sad

[last wagon]

Sad 😦

[ivory beacon]

It’s still giving this message

[sinful igloo]

I mean read the last bullet point

[ivory beacon]

Ah yeah. Strange though.

[worthy tulip]

yeah glad we found and could make use of the method while we could

Really missed my double biscuits today

[last wagon]

Good bye Good bye Good bye

[ivory beacon]

😦

[pallid bolt]

[sour dirge]

Good bye all, this channel had a good run

[sand panther]

we had a good run

[last wagon]

[swift epoch]

[agile badger]

I might not track monday sleep, add it on tuesday and then use 2 biscuits on wednesday morning. Atleast that will guarantee 1 decent catch than 2 halfway catches

Plus early week it doesnt matter that much

Might hurt reward stamp gotta see

[last wagon]

Next week is a good sleep event, I would try to max sleep as much as I can tbh

[raw scaffold]

I’ve been doing this trick for few weeks now. I was always getting the second biscuit every alternative day. But after the recent maintenance and updates it no longer works. Today I was supposed to be getting second biscuit but I did not.

I have two accounts, and its the same in both the accounts.

[sinful igloo]

They explictly noted they were fixing it in this last patch

[agile badger]

they fixed the exploit

[solar geode]

I've been looking at the internet and it looks like we've discovered the bug/exploit here (I couldn't find mentions anywhere here or on Reddit before the start of this thread)

July 22, 7:43pm UTC

It was a great jump start to a game. We've got so many pokémon thanks to that and now we can use manual sleeping the way it was intended - to fill our helpers' energy on nights we'll have less than 7 hours of sleep.

[quartz magnet]

I think some YouTubers started talking about this exploit. Then a few days later it was mentioned in patching

It could be that the YouTube videos caught their eye

Or it could be that we have developers also reading into discord discussions 🤣

It was fun while it lasted…

[solar geode]

I was more talking about where it originated, but yeah, youtubers probably caught their eye

I think that big game developer teams should pay at least one person to spy underground in Discords, Reddits, Twitters, FB groups and watch YouTube about their game and note every bug and exploit for devs to fix. I don't know if that's the case anywhere, but I think it would be effective.

[quartz magnet]

Yeah. Or maybe not pay, just get that team member to OT.. 😔

[worthy tulip]

Ooo i really like this strat, i’ll do it when its not a Good Sleep week

[formal raft]

"And worst of all, the dev could be in this very server! He could be you! He could be me! He could even be--"

[solar geode]

Better go read the entire thread and find the dev hiding somewhere. He'll probably be one of the later ones to ask how precisely it works.

[chrome bane]

And then do we run them out with pitchforks or something?

[quartz magnet]

Nah. But I think it is the right and most efficient approach to get bugs/glitches/loopholes

Sometimes when you are working on something, you get tunnel visioned and can’t see the issues

So discords and reddits are precisely the very good channels to find these

If it is true, then O7

I’ve seen people in my workplace who can’t see the flaws or mistakes in their work

So yeah. Being willing to scour for any bugs/glitches etc. is a commendable attitude

[chrome bane]

I'll be honest, it's a good thing for the game that this was patched. However, biscuit supply still seems too low and the devs should do something else about that.

[ivory beacon]

Agreed.

[last wagon]

Don't you see that new bundle??? /s

[sour dirge]

I wish it was slightly easier to catch

[dim remnant]

Hi, I'm still getting 2 bonus biscuits every other morning. I add 90min naps manually every day

I will send the screenshot of the 2 bonus biscuits tomorrow

[swift epoch]

Noooo?? man thats not possible tho, i want it too 🙈

[warm bolt]

Are you doing a second sleep session on the manual nap days?
The issue is if you do a manual entry and then do a 2nd sleep session same day, you get a bonus biscuit that day. But you don’t get 2 bonus biscuits on the follow day.

[dim remnant]

Like this:

Day 1 - manually added nap
Day 1 (night) - normal tracking sleep - 1 daily bonus biscuit
Day 2 - manually added nap
Day 2 (night) - normal tracking sleep - you get the 2x bonus biscuits here
And the next one on day 4 if you continue adding naps manually

[warm bolt]

Thanks for clarifying. Maybe somebody can confirm after the good day event is over.

[sinful igloo]

Seems odd that they may have bugged it so it now requires doing manual sleep every day.
Before that wouldn't get you anything since it would just push back the bonus biscuit

[dim remnant]

To clarify, I do sleep research every morning, I don't skip any day

[agile badger]

Earlier it was

Day 1- Manual nap
Day 1- track sleep (1 bonus)
Day 2 - track sleep night (2 bonus)
Day 3- manual nap
Day 3- track sleep night (2 bonus)

and so on.

If manual entrying everyday gets the bug then it should be tried

I will do it after the event is over

[torn bison]

So based off this pattern it would be adding manual sleep everyday instead of every other. And end up with getting extra bonus biscuits every other day based off what you are saying right?

[cloud hemlock]

O shit what a break through if it's true

That would be huge

[calm hare]

weird i did manual entry on monday and tuesday but i didn't get 2x on tuesday night 😔

maybe because i just started doing it i'll try to do it everyday after the event is over

[dim remnant]

Yes

I'm ready to record my screen tomorrow when I wake up 😁

[last wagon]

Go away pokemon sleep dev, leave us alone

[dim remnant]

I recorded my screen but only got 1 bonus biscuit today 😦 I will try again for tomorrow, let's see

[agile badger]

Aww man :/

[last wagon]

I'm experiencing a free biscuit withdraw ...

[dim remnant]

I think I will just track my nap normally today y_y sad

[quasi wharf]

Yeah I also haven’t been getting my extra biscuit

Even though it still says you’ll receive one when you go to manually enter it appears to either be removed or bugged

I’ve been missing it twice now

I submitted a ticket/bug report, and also asked for clarification if this is an intended change. Will update if I get a response

[sinful igloo]

It only gives the extra biscuit if you don't do sleep research at all for that day now

[chrome bane]

You need to read the last thing it says on that pop up.

[quasi wharf]

Oooh did they change the wording?

I don’t recall the notification being any diff but I also haven’t been looking too hard

[agile badger]

Now if you do manual entry, dont track sleep that day then next day when you track you will get 2 biscuitz

Like if you forget to track nights sleep, you can add it and then get its biscuit on next sleep tracking (for total of 2)

[tame drum]

Oh so it’s only useful if you forget do an overnight sleep. You lose a biscuit one night but gain 2 the following so it evens out.

[agile badger]

yeah

exploit allowed you to gain "lost" biscuit without losing the sleep one thats why we got 3 biscuits over 2 days

[agile badger]

I added my nap manually, should get 1 bonus tomo morning and if all goes right 2 bonus on final sleep of the day

[eager hound]

wait so, if i get this right
-> i forgot or couldn’t get a sleep session yesterday, should i enter manual data today? or will i lose today’s biscuit

[warm bolt]

You don’t lose a biscuit. The whole idea of manual entry is so that you get 1 extra bonus biscuit from the day you missed

So if you enter it today for the session you missed yesterday (just to clarify you didn’t log any sessions at all. No naps either)

Then you should get two bonus biscuits on your next session. Not todays session but the next session.

[agile badger]

You dont lose todays biscuit. You will get the untracked sleeps biscuit on the next day sleep session along with the next day bonus biscuit

[eager hound]

right right, and if i enter manual data today for yesterday, let’s say a full night of 8.5h, i won’t be able to do any other session today, right?

so in my case it’s most beneficial to just add a 90mins nap for yesterday right?

@warm bolt sorry for the ping i meant to reply to your message

[warm bolt]

You entering a manual entry for YESTERDAY. Does not impact your sleep session today

I’m not understanding why would you do a manual nap for yesterday 🤨. You would just do the full manual 8.5 hour sleep to recover your Mons and get the manual biscuit (next session)

[eager hound]

hmmm, maybe i used to do it wrong, but when the double biscuit glitch was a thing, when i added manual data for a nap it counted 18 points out of the 100 max sleep score for my next sleep session

is it because the data i manually entered was on the same day as my actual session?

[chrome bane]

You can't add a manual entry that falls before a sleep session you've already recorded, so you can't enter a manual nap for yesterday if you also slept that night. So if you did legitimately lose track of a night of sleep, you should manually enter the full thing.

[eager hound]

i ended up only adding a 90mins worth of data because some people have complained about losing sleep score on day x for adding manual data on day x for day y

[chrome bane]

Well depending on what time you entered that for you could still fix that

[agile badger]

Tried this didnt work for me, got only 1 bonus biscuit

[dim remnant]

Is not working anymore 😭

[whole cedar]

At least I think we can add a full sleep manual sesion and get the biscuit on the next sleep, wich can be still useful if some night we can’t use the app

[agile badger]

Yeah basically the way it was intended

I might skip monday sleeps to get 2 biscuits later when i can get stronger mons

[ivory beacon]

Or if like Hubbs, it froze and then didn’t give the sleep data. Just entered his this am for@last nights sleep

[sleek gazelle]

can someone confirm if this still works? 😮

i haven't tried it yet but i think i might try it today

[brave wigeon]

It doesn't work

Well, you can carry a biscuit over if you don't track Sleep normal. It essentially works as you'd think they intended it. One biscuit a day but you can carry over one if you add a manual entry instead of having a tracked sleep

[sleek gazelle]

ohhh so i won't get a bonus biscuit for tonight? 😢

but get 2 for wednesday night

[visual bay]

Is it still worth it to manually add a nap then? Only for the extra candy for friends?

[agile badger]

You have to track nap to send extra candy to friends, manual doesn't give sleep points nor pokemon encounter for candy

Plus tracking nap will mostly force you to use bonus biscuit unless you sleep after 4am

[visual bay]

Ok, so it's totally not worth it anymore

[dim remnant]

Only worth if you know you are not going to be able to sleep 8.5 hours later
