Energy disappearing in Merge Academy

A few of us are seeing this one.

What I did:

  • load the game & see I have 100 energy bolts
  • go to the game board
  • get my freebie chest from the store
  • get the freebies out of the chest

What I expected:

  • to still have 100 energy bolts

What actually happened:

  • I had 3-4 energy bolts
  • I was gaining one bolt every 2 minutes after that, like normal

Normally, I start playing immediately and don't have this problem.  Someone else had the same thing happen but she was going around collecting freebies from the different rooms.  I'm not sure if this would happen if you just opened the game and ignored it for a few minutes.  (The 3-4 energy bolts probably appeared over the few minutes I was collecting the freebies and I was probably chatting or I wouldn't have had that many.)

Note that this is different from the problem we had before where you'd arrive and find 0 energy bolts.  I definitely had 100 when I first arrived.

Workaround?  Always use a few energy bolts immediately when starting up the game.

    This happened to me again.  This time, I used some energy first thing and then filled a customer order pretty quickly which also completed the task I was working on.  When I clicked "collect" for the task, it took me off the board.  When I went back in to the board I tried a generator and a moment later found I was out of energy,  i should have had at least 80 since I hadn't been in the game for at least 10 hours.  I used at most 20 and suddenly had 0.

    Not sure about workarounds now.
