Why are C.O.R.E agents getting the dual core medal without reaching C.O.R.E Year 2?
It might be petty to raise this up but it's rather unfair that those agents who are not affected by the bug to see agents whose their subscription count was bugged to be getting the badge first despite being a long supporter for close to 2 years.
I do understand that Vanguards has reached the 24th month for subscription as they have tested early. However, I can't wrap my head that some agents are reaching the 24th as well even though C.O.R.E is only officially released on Jan 2021. From my understanding, that was a bug in iOS where an additional count was added to their subscription count which was not fixed. Hence, we are seeing normal C.O.R.E agents receiving the badge earlier than expected before reaching the official C.O.R.E Year 2 date.
IMO, the subscription count issue should be resolved first before releasing the dual core medal so as to be fair for C.O.R.E agents who are unaffected by the additional C.O.R.E subscription count. Alternatively, another way of releasing the dual core medal is when C.O.R.E official reached Year 2 and agents has reach more than 24th month subscription, the medal will be pushed down at the same time.

My guess: Niantic completely forgot that bug even existed at one point and didn't anticipate this happening...
That said: seriously, get over it... You'll get it in a few days
That will be in 11 days time where the first C.O.R.E subscribers starts subscribing.
Just got to bring this up as this will be a future problem if they decide to have things like Year 3 or 4 medals for C.O.R.E agents in the future
At least it works, imagine no medal appears :D
There seems to be a new bug also, an agent only reaching first year did also receive the medal. Gonna see if he could report it.
There is a bug too where one month didn't counted
I'm currently at 22 but have been subscribed since day one, when that happened i've sent and email and they said it will be fixed, but it wasn't.
My GF subscribed two days later and she is at 23 ticks 🙂
Hope those bugs can be fixed!
It is incredibly petty for you to bring up and you should be embarrassed.
A better question would be, those who canceled their subscription
If they were to start it up again, and got to 24 months, would they then get it?
Considering how the medal is already being rolled out, yes, one should assume you receive it when your scanner hits 24 months subscribed. Hence why some folks are getting it early due to the bug, etc.
I suppose, unless they remove the medal after a month.
Is there really panic and FOMO over essentially free badge that you'll get when you hit 24 months on 9th January? No-one was expecting this, no-one is paying specifically for this.
Why is this a point of contention? Except for the iOS bug, we're all on 23 months. Don't cancel and your badge will appear in a few days. I swear half the drama in Ingress is because people can't believe someone else got something a few days before they did.
even though C.O.R.E is only officially released on Jan 2021.
February 2021.
You'll hit the start of your 24th month on 9th January, but Core will hit it's 2 year anniversary on Feb 9th.
