Number of available nominations sometimes not incrementing daily.

The number of available nominations is supposed to increase once per day, up to a maximum of 40 nominations. Based on observations, this occurs daily at midnight GMT.
However, one some days, I have observed that my number of available nominations does not increase, even though I am well below the maximum number of nominations. I have noticed this specifically within the Ingress app -- unsure if Pokemon Go is also affected sometimes and I simply haven't observed it.
Most recently: I made a nomination through Ingress on Friday 15 Jul 2022, 7:39 PM GMT+8, which took me to zero nominations remaining. I did not nominate anything through Ingress since then, which means at the time of writing (Sunday afternoon) I should now have two nominations. However, even after restarting the Ingress app, it still says I have one nomination. I have missed gaining a day of nominations. I also missed gaining my daily accrual of photo edits, invalid Wayspot reports and title/description edits.
This also happened to me on 6th April 2022 and and 21st April 2022. In both cases, the daily +1 increment was skipped, and then resumed on the normal schedule the next day. I never received back the missing 1 nomination from the day that was missed.
This bug has been observed by other people as well, and has been posted on the Ingress forums (https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/19526/portal-submission-not-resetting?). I am not sure if it has been reported here also, but may be a Wayfarer issue. Can the Wayfarer team please investigate?
If others have experienced the bug, can you please comment so that there is more evidence available? Thanks.

I’ve experienced this too. Used up all my nominations in the late afternoon, and Ingress obviously said “You will get one more tomorrow” but then I still had 0 nominations available 24 hours later
I have experienced this occasionally when I use all my pogo nominations. 24 hours from the time of the last nomination even after reloading the app the counter still shows zero. There have been other times when it was just a visual bug and restarting the app fixed it. I have most often triggered this but if I use up my last nomination and submit it near the GMT reset time.
Thank you for adding information that this has been observed in Pokemon Go as well, @niktero-PGO. I will edit the title.
The times when I have observed this have always been after I have used up all of my nominations. But I don't know if that is part of the reason for the bug, or if it happens more often and I only notice it when I go to make a nomination and unexpectedly cannot.
Same here. Dont get it every day
Today my Ingress nominations incremented but +1 as expected. But I never received back the nomination that was ‘skipped’ on the weekend. I am at least three nominations lower than I should be (including the two dates in April when I did not receive new nominations).
I noticed over the weekend when I uploaded my photos that I was also 2 photo submissions down, which led me to submitting a batch of 38 rather than 40. It's likely the system skipped a day.
Hello Explorers, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'll send this up to the team for investigation.
I am seeing this, too.
I used up my last nomination in Pokemon Go on Sunday, yet today (Friday) I only have two nominations available. My Ingress account is also refreshing more slowly than I would expect.
@NianticTintino-ING This happened to me again today. I did not get my daily nomination increment from Ingress. It still says I have no submissions remaining, but it has been over 24 hours since my last submission.
