This is the second the time that this has happened. The first time this happened, I had to remake the aura. Was hoping maybe a fresh set of eyes could potentially help see the issue.

THE ISSUE
• In trigger #1's custom trigger code, aura_env.saved.maelstromSpent isn't being reset to 0 like I want it to.

DISPLAY TAB

Text 1
Display Text: %c
Custom Function:

function()
    return aura_env.saved.maelstromSpent or 0
end

TRIGGER TAB

Required for Activation: Any Triggers
Dynamic Information: First Active Trigger

Trigger #1
Type: Custom
Event Type: Event
Event(s): CLEU:SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS,WA_DELAYED_PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD

Custom Trigger:

function(event,...)
    if (event == "WA_DELAYED_PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD") then
        local isInitLogin = ...
        
        -- When a player initially logs into the game, the backend maelstrom
        -- counter begins at 0. So we need our maelstromSpent to do the same.
        if (isInitLogin) then
            aura_env.saved.maelstromSpent = 0 
        end
        
        return true
    elseif (event == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED") then
        local _,subevent,_,srcGUID,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,spellID = ...
        
        if (srcGUID == UnitGUID("player") and subevent == "SPELL_CAST_SUCCESS" and aura_env.validSpells[spellID]) then
            local cost = C_Spell.GetSpellPowerCost(spellID)
            
            cost = cost[#cost].cost

            local currentMaelstrom = aura_env.saved.maelstromSpent
            local newMaelstromSpent = currentMaelstrom + cost
            
            -- When our maelstromSpent variable exceeds 300, we need to roll it over
            if (newMaelstromSpent >= 300) then
                maelstromSpent = newMaelstromSpent - 300 
            else
                maelstromSpent = newMaelstromSpent
            end
            
            aura_env.saved.maelstromSpent = maelstromSpent
            return true
        end
    elseif (event == "OPTIONS" and not aura_env.isNeedUpdate) then
        aura_env.isNeedUpdate = true
    end
    
    -- When we close WeakAuras' options, an update needs to occur.
    -- This will allow our progress bar to resume the value is had before we opened the options.
    if (not WeakAuras.IsOptionsOpen() and aura_env.isNeedUpdate) then
        aura_env.isNeedUpdate = false
        
        return true

Tempest Progress Tracker

This aura tracks the following: 1. 300 Maelstrom Spent 2. Awakened Storms stacks 3. Arc Discharge stacks Like my work?

UPDATE: I made a new WeakAura and it's still not working. I even changed Trigger #1 to the following and "EVENT: WA_DELAYED_PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD" doesn't print upon loading into the game.

function(event,...)
    print("EVENT:",event)
end

However, doing the same idea with a brand new aura works fine. Hmm 🤔

UPDATE: I found the issue!

Selecting the Tempest Hero Talent in the Load Tab prevented WA_DELAYED_PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD from firing. Instead checking if spell 454009 is known worked.

Gonna submit these findings to the WeakAura github.
