Losing Event currency - what?

I've been on task #3 for a couple days now. Not playing every 4 hours but pretty regularly. Can't figure out why it's taking me so long to complete this one since it's only 90 or so party hats.

I went in to clear and reset tasks this morning. Party hat count was in the 60's. After currency and xp cleared the screen it dropped to 38...where I left it last night.

I swear I've seen this happen in other events but dismissed it as my imagination. This time I actually saw it happen. It's stuff like this that's going to make me not want to bother.

    I've lost the odd round of collections too in previous events but only the odd one now and again although so far so good with this one.

    I’ve just had a prompt for an update and when it has completed, the event has disappeared and I have not tasks left to do!! I’m really hoping EA sort this quickly


    Not sure this fits the thread topic, but it's probably your game that is corrupted. Uninstall and reinstall should fix it. If this was a wide spread issue the forum would be full of posts about it.

    The Wiki says you have 3 seconds to harvest perfection. I just tried it and it was indeed 3 seconds before it went bad. When was the last time you rebooted your device?

    It sounds to me like you need to do a clean reinstall.
    Uninstall the game. No, don't do that trick where you keep the game files, just uninstall it.
    Turn OFF your device. OFF. Wait a minute. This will clear problems that nothing else will clear.
    Turn on your device. Maybe start with a compliment like "Hey, you're looking really smart today. Did you do something different with your screen? It looks really shiny today." Then go from there.
    Now install. Install. INSTALL!
    I tried. Really. I tried not to do it. I couldn't resist. >:)

    When I'm growing Perfection, I get there early and my eager finger is hovering like an eBay sniper, but even so, when it's finished I can't tap it fast enough and it feels like my face contorts, like turning a hand held controller even though it makes no difference to the racing car on screen.
    I have made the mistake of leaving to tap other tasks and coming back to often.

    This Is a first.

    Just had a daily task to harvest perfection. I planted and stayed put. The second it was ready I clicked to harvest. It was already bad. No 45-second window to harvest.

    Something is afoot.

    I think perfection has a 3 second window to harvest since it does go bad really quickly.
