Two quit-log totals disagree: check which boundary entries each includes
Inspect start, end and timestamp rules in an existing date-filtered summary before treating a total difference as changed behavior.
No Vape · Updated

Separate the saved record from the selected view
A view of this week, the last seven days or a custom date range may select different observations. The labels alone do not prove identical coverage. Write the requested comparison first, then check the actual dates and times each summary covers. A different view does not necessarily mean entries were lost or the original record changed.
Smokefree supports noticing triggers and revisiting practical plans; it does not define software date filters. The inspection method here is our original recordkeeping exercise. Consult the actual tool’s instructions for its boundary behavior. We do not claim that No Vape supplies custom filters, exports or any particular midnight rule.

Use a fictional boundary ledger
Imagine three invented observations: one just before a boundary, one exactly at it and one just after it. Two summaries agree on the before and after entries but handle the endpoint differently. Their totals can differ without either underlying entry changing. Keep the example as set selection, not a reason to change recorded facts to make displays match.
For your own note, list the interval start, interval end, included endpoint rule and timestamp basis. Where these are unavailable, mark them unknown. You can ask official support whether the boundary belongs to the earlier interval, the later interval or both in the particular view. Do not add fictional tracker entries or vape to test the behavior.
Check timing basis before assigning an entry
A delayed note can have an event time and an entry time. A filter using one may place it in a different interval from a filter using the other. Keep that known distinction alongside the boundary question. If time zone or local-date settings are involved, consult the tool’s documentation rather than assuming every screen uses the same setting.
An exact boundary time in a display may also reflect rounding, so avoid guessing more precision than the original record supports. If you cannot identify the actual selection rule, narrow the comparison to an agreed interior period or state that the totals are not yet comparable. That is different from marking uncertain behavior as zero or altering a streak to preserve its appearance.
Reconcile the question without rewriting history
When the selected sets are clear, explain the difference in ordinary language: this total includes these boundary observations under this rule; the other total uses another interval. Sum adjacent intervals only when you have established that their entry sets do not overlap. A shared endpoint can otherwise count the same observation twice.
If the total remains unexplained, preserve the observed discrepancy and use the official support route with a minimal report. Do not clear storage, delete entries or reconstruct missing quantities as an improvised repair. For practical planning, the dated context may already answer your routine question. A reconciled filter describes the selected record; it does not establish nicotine exposure, clinical improvement or why the behavior occurred.
