Why does the RevenueCat mobile app show wrong revenue in transactions page?

Hello, we’re tracking our daily total revenue in the Transactions page in RC mobile app.

However, we recently noticed that even when new subscriptions are added, the total revenue in that day decreases. It might have been because of refunds, which can reduce the sum, but after we checked that wasn’t the case.

We tried to see if there’s a pattern in the change of sum number, but couldn’t find any. Sometimes the number goes up, and sometimes the number goes down, regardless of how many new subscriptions are added.

Are we missing something here, or is this a bug?

Thank you.

    Sorry for the inconvenience here! In the iOS app, the daily revenue figure is currently calculated on-device by summing fetched transactions. Because the app displays data in local time while our backend data is stored in UTC, activity near day boundaries can also cause temporary inconsistencies. This is a known limitation, and our team is actively working on a proper fix so the app will use a backend-sourced total instead of summing locally. That change is part of the work tied to Charts v3 + real-time data. We don’t have an exact release date to share yet, but it’s in progress.
     
    For the most reliable numbers, please use the RevenueCat Revenue Chart totals as the source of truth (until the transactions view in the app is updated). The chart values are computed on the backend and won’t exhibit the mobile app’s local-summing issues.
