The event is live and I have a couple of followup notes based on some of your questions here and in other spaces.
1) The event is live, yeay! If you are nervous about starting a Kinetic Capsule and it still being 8km instead of 2km, you can verify before starting a Program by looking at the Kinetic Capsule before you go into MANAGE interface. I'll add a screenshot from my phone after I get this posted. It will say 2km instead of 8km at the top.
2) Medal updating: if you completed enough Kinetic Programs during the initial Challenge in March, the popup you receive on screen may show Silver instead of Gold as both alerts are received but it can only display one. If you look at your Scanner, it should show the Gold tier.
3) Distance walked limit: The 40km limit is per-24 hour period and starts after you complete a Program, as a rolling 24 hour period.
If I redeem an 8km Program at 1100 (because I started it before the Challenge), I have 32km remaining. If I go out and finish a 2km Program at 1400 today, I will have 30km remaining. If I do no more walking, tomorrow at 1100 the 8km falls off and I have 38km remaining and at 1400, I am back to having the full 40km available. (I really hope that is not more confusing.)
4 - We are disabling the ADA Program until it cooks the right recipe. If you have one running, it will still continue to run and count for your stat credit, you just will not be able to start a new one.
I will look into what can be done for those who didn't receive the right output once we get it working properly.
Now that it's fixed, I'll talk to the team about what we can do for those who did an ADA program and got a JARVIS instead of an ADA. It is unlikely I will have an answer for you before Monday. I'm sorry about that. :(
With regards to the walking limit, to summarise from my understanding:
If you completed a capsule on 12 pm today (2km), you will spend your 2km of 40km quota. At 12 pm tomorrow the 2 km quota will be returned back to you.
Hence, here is my question:
If I complete my 40 km redemptions before 12pm next day, can I walk another 2km before then while waiting for the rolling reset?( Will that additional 2km count on the capsule?)
Round robin apparently - as I saw elsewhere - if you had finished an 8km KC at 11:00 (waited till the challenge to collect) - your 11:00 number would be reduced to 32km, if you did another 2km by 15:00 then at 15:00 you would be reduced to 30km left - but when you get to 11:00 the next day, the 8km would be taken off and you would be at 38km, then at 15:00 you would be back at 40km. (so you get back what you used after 24 hours)
@NianticOfficial I have a question about the specifications of the Ingres app's Kinetic Capsule: Does the walking distance measurement count only when the app is always running? Does it not count if the device is asleep or the app is in the background?
In Ingress the km walked stat for Trekker and Kinetic Capsules only records when the game is open and in active use. In order to record km walked for both of these you have to be playing the game.
It's a rolling clock. 40 km in the last 24 hours. If you just completed a 2 km capsule, then you can only do 38 km more in the next 24-hr period. Once you hit 24 hrs from then, you get that 2 km back on your limit.
Comments
Very doubtful they havent did more then 2 before and now are the final tiers to get.
In the last event, you could only get Bronze. This is only silver. And there will be 3 more stages for gold, is that correct?
how many lazy agents are here .. it's horrible, every event is the same, everyone wants something extra, for zero work
Nope. You can get gold in this stage.
I just ran the ADA program. Put in a Jarvis and got out a Jarvis.
Ping @NianticThia @NianticBrian
Don't mind the numbers, but I wish I could cancel my current capsule, which has 1km/8. ugh. :)
Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone!

And what about the ADA program that creates a Jarvis?
Eh... And we are waiting for ingress game road map, dont forget about it please.
Looking; can you take a note of your current #s of ADA and JARVIS, restart scanner, and see if they remain same? (just in case...)Disregard, I will take this to your bug report!
Why am I getting a Jarvis for Ada programme? Looks like a weird joke, you put in Jarvis and stuff and get Jarvis back with stuff wasted.
What's the point and how do I get the Ada?
Same thing. Run Ada program twice and got two Jarvis...
(Off topic but I haven't...)

Please use/refer to the filed bug report (https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/16697/optima-challenge-ada-program-broken) for updates.
(sent from phone)
Excellent!!!😁😁 And now, I'm ready to see it and beat them all, first!!
Cause WE ARE SOUTH FLORIDA RESISTANCE!!
It should be considered as tradition at this time. It seems to be heresy starting an event without a bug or two.
kinetic program ADA regractor is not working... anyone else have same problem?
Disabled due to a bug, see:
Will there be a round 3?
i'm looking for my missing ADA from my finished walk :D

THX a lot :)
UPDATE
ADA Program has been reactivated.
Now that it's fixed, I'll talk to the team about what we can do for those who did an ADA program and got a JARVIS instead of an ADA. It is unlikely I will have an answer for you before Monday. I'm sorry about that. :(

Esta de 10 la medalla, pero sin duda a Niantic ya no le importa la pandemia y forza a salir XD. Jaja vamos por esa medalla.

Got a bronze medal after finish ONE ADA program. Please fix this, really don't like this ugly medal.
u must have completed 3 kinetics from previous round then. do a few more and u get a more nicer blue.
It's a rolling clock. 40 km in the last 24 hours. If you just completed a 2 km capsule, then you can only do 38 km more in the next 24-hr period. Once you hit 24 hrs from then, you get that 2 km back on your limit.
