Basically unused wayspot might become power spot.
I cant say anything about recalculation but assuming the location edit is correct and no abuse detected, if there are multiple wayspot inside lv17 cell, i can assume that unused wayspot might become powerspot.
I cant say for all, but unused wayspot ard me has become power spot.
Hi @TjoeMi
How often and what will become a power spot is unknown. It’s true that we’ve recently seen that some unused wayspots became power spots, but there’s no given rule established.
That two pokestops or a pokestop and a power spot are in each other is simply wrong.
My own observation one time was, that an existing power spot had has for one day a situation like the above, because surrounding pokestops were removed and the power spot became a pokestop. On the next day the power spot was gone and the pokestop remains. That would be imo an acceptable way.
But here the OP discribes a situation over weeks. So we should let this up to Niantic to look into it.

Just a quick update, the overlapping stops and gyms are still in game sharing the same cell and everything. I’m wondering if the map database split affected the recalcs?
Sorry to bump this thread so often. It’s been a couple of weeks now, but I noticed more strange behavior. There are days where the overlapping stops seem to fix themselves and only one is visible on the map, but they will randomly re-appear and be overlapping on the same point on the map again. I confirmed that it wasn’t just my game that showed this, but a couple of other users that play in the area saw this glitched behavior as well. I can provide
Is there any chance someone has taken a look at this?
Again, normally I would be stoked to have more than the “allowed” number of stops/gyms per cell, but I want to ensure that we can add correct/new waypoints when construction of the new civic center area and surrounding park is completed. But there are a number of cells with 3 Waypoints in them, which count towards the current PokeStop/Gym count. See the screenshots below.

(Blue dots are stops in game, red dots are gyms in game)
Is there anyone I should be tagging? Or is there a process to have the submitted bug reviewed? I feel bad for continuing to bump the thread every 8-10 days, but I just want to document that the weird overpopulation still exists.
Hey, why do you have the Palkia effect active but it’s not showing on the map? D: And not to mention the radius is huge
Good question! Time for a different bug thread lol! I do have a Palkia with the move and I usually have it on on my walks. But I’d rather not derail too far from the principal issue haha
There doesn’t seem to be any intent to update in either direction here. Does anyone know if I have to reach out to someone directly, or if this is normal review time for a bug report?
Mods, should we ask staff now? It has been a while indeed.
