Celebi quest bug

Doing the Celebi quest diligently. On stage 6/8, knocked off the evolution and pinap berry quests pretty quickly. Then went to make my 7th consecutive day spin, and it reset to 1. Annoying. Lists as a known bug. Spun the next day, again reset to 1. Spun today, reset to 1 yet again. So I've spun 9 days in a row, my regular weekly spin streak is intact, but the Celebi quest thinks I've spun one day so far, and I'm guessing that it will do the same to me tomorrow.

This problem is listed in the known bugs, stated as a lack of progress on the quest, and is supposedly resolved. Message claims that the fix might reset one's count, and there's no time limit on the quest.

But I'm having it come up now, two days after the fix was supposedly in place. And I'm about to travel - I was hoping to catch Celebi in Tbilisi or Istanbul, as a cool memento of the trip, but that seems impossible now. (I'm not going to spend one of two days in Istanbul seeking out 40 grass and psychic pokemon.)

So, if anyone from Niantic is reading this (fat chance), please fix this issue. I've already posted a bug report, but it didn't give me enough characters to explain the problem fully. And if anyone out there has suggestions as to how to stop the resets and for me to actually get credit for my 9+ day streak, please share. I know I'll get Celebi eventually, I just want to know that it's being worked on.

Annoying? This is not annoying AT ALL, this is DESTRUCTIVE. DESTRUCTION is where this is writing home about, you have underestimated the problem with your presentation.

By the way i'm not affected by the bug, maybe you spun an unvisited stop?

It seemed to affect people who changed their time zones to leap ahead several hours and get move through the 7 day spin faster. Did you happen to do that?

I happened to travel during this task, yet mine flight was heading backward 2 hrs as of timezone. Got trapped by the error and now I have to start over from day one.

Yes, I'm traveling a lot during the task. Leave tonight from Philadelphia for Tbilisi, and a couple of days in Istanbul on the way back. Hope I get Celebi some day.

The problem is the continual resets. If I took a flight, and lost some progress, that's one thing. Constantly spinning and getting day 1 over and over is distressing.

It sounds like whatever bug is plaguing this step is similar to the 3 day catch streak research. You mention you've traveled a lot during it, I'm assuming the time zone jumps are fucking with your progress. Someone I know got stuck for the 3 day catch because of that.

You'd think that when they fixed the 3 day catch research they would have at least double checked the 7 day stop one.
