Hello,
I would like to report something I don’t understand regarding the use of my Wayfarer upgrades.
I had 2 available upgrades, and I noticed that they were used automatically, even though I did not apply them myself.
I want to be very clear that no one else has access to my account (no account sharing, secure password, and no suspicious activity to my knowledge).
What I find particularly strange is that these 2 upgrades were applied to the only two nominations I currently had pending, and this happened without any action from me.
I would like to know:
whether upgrades can be applied automatically under certain conditions,
or if this could be a bug or synchronization issue within Wayfarer.
Thank you in advance for your help or for looking into this matter.

Hello,
I wanted to provide an update after receiving clarification.
The issue was caused by an option I had enabled unintentionally due to a misunderstanding. I am using Wayfarer in French, and the translation is unfortunately very confusing: the term “mise à jour” (update) is used instead of “upgrade”, which led me to believe it was related to edits/updates, not nomination upgrades.
Because of this, the automatic upgrade option was enabled, which explains why my two upgrades were applied automatically to my pending nominations.
Thank you to everyone who helped clarify this.
I hope this feedback can help improve the French translation to avoid similar confusion for other users.
I think @Xenopus has been working on the French translation issues with the team? I am so sorry this happened to you.
Hey @blazezius ,
I’m sorry that you lost your hard earned upgrades due to a confusion. We will share your feedback with the team.
I have refunded your Upgrades as a goodwill gesture. You should be able to see them in your account now.
Cheers!
