Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 Character Promotion BUG/GLITCH

Question

So I've been playing Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 all day today working on leveling up my characters in my backyard killing bosses that spawn and I came across a glitch that has completely broken my Frozen Citron character.

So I was leveling up Frozen Citron and I reached level 10 like normal and when I went to promote him I clicked to promote and then it said it went through but when I looked it still showed my Frozen Citron needed to be promoted so I clicked again and it said he needed promoted to the same promotion again so I figured maybe it just didn't go through and so I promoted him again and it still didn't go through so I tried over and over again at least 10 different times trying to promote him and it just wouldn't go through and so eventually I gave up and decided to restart my game.

Well when I restart my game and loaded back in now it says my Frozen Citron is fully mastered and max level but I don't have any of the character upgrades you get while leveling up!

I don't know if it was the server being old since I was playing all day or my friend who was playing with me having a bad connection I don't know what caused this glitch all I know is now my character is broken and is now maximum level but i didn't get any of the character upgrades and I didn't actually level him up all those levels for some reason it just skipped to the maximum rank and now it's stuck like that :(

Update: It appears that even though my character is maximum promotion he isn't maximum level as I'm continuing to play using my Frozen Citron and I've been leveling up as I play and it started at level -34 and was going up -33, -32, -31, etc and now I'm at level -11 and have unlocked most of the character upgrades as they do still seem to unlock I just don't have to go back and promote my character each time because he's already maximum promotion from the glitch.

Again I don't know what caused this to happen, my best guess is the server was lagging or possibly even crashed when I was promoting my character and so it wouldn't save that I was promoting him and then somehow it skipped to the maximum promotion but hasn't actually stopped me from leveling my character up even though it says my character is maximum level (it says it is but it isn't and I'm luckily still able to level up and have been doing so today).

Overall this is an annoying bug/glitch but I'm extremely thankful that it didn't fully break my character and prevent me from unlocking the character upgrades.

If anyone ever experiences this bug for themselves don't panic like I did, just keep using your character and you'll level up as you keep earning XP even though it says you're maximum level.
