A backfill job wrote BusyBee_BACKFILL_2026-10-23_FULL_* into the HoneyCharge folder at 9:09 PM ET last night. Its README states: “thirteen more orders have been deleted from Shopify — #1075 through #1087, the whole 08/23/2026 launch day.”
FALSE Nothing was deleted. The lifetime order count went up, from 165 to 166. August still reads exactly 50 orders / $34.20 net, identical to every prior reading. And August 23 itself still returns 13 orders / $422.88 gross when queried directly. Those are the thirteen.
The real cause is already on the books here: the Admin GraphQL orders feed is capped to a trailing window. Yesterday it reached back to Aug 23; today it reaches back to Aug 27. The window slid forward four days and dropped thirteen rows. Third occurrence of this same misdiagnosis — but the first time the job has escalated from a wrong label to asserting your records were destroyed.
78 of 166 orders — 47.0%
That is what the file labelled FULL and “the complete set” actually holds. It omits 88 orders. Coverage got worse, not better: yesterday's file held 91 of 165 (55.2%). Its completeness proof is still circular — it reconciles ordersCount from the same capped feed against its own row count.
The README calls #1165 at $96.88 “the largest order in the dataset.” Sorting that file's own 78 rows by revenue puts $200.00 on 09/04/2026 (10 units, 7 Original + 3 Ignite) at the top — 2.06× larger, and inside the same file.
This is the third time a confident comparative claim here has been drawn from a prior write-up instead of from the data. The rival was not merely out of scope this time; it was four hundred rows away in the same spreadsheet.
These thirteen day figures sum to $576.31 and equal October's monthly net sales exactly — an independent reconciliation of the chart against the month. Oct 23 is a partial day read at 7:12 AM; it will move.
Same legend: gold earned, pale earned nothing. The three biggest traffic days in the window — 58, 52 and 37 sessions — all earned $0.00. The three best earning days drew 6, 15 and 2. Oct 22 revised 13 → 15 overnight and closed at 15, the eighteenth time sessions have moved after the fact.

The $5.00 flat discount carries no code — a third discount shape, after the named host codes and the unnamed 15% custom discount on #1165. At $49.99 for 20 sachets the customer paid $2.4995 a serving, below the subscription price.
NEW #1166 also carries a PENDING refund of $6.41. Three readings moved by exactly $6.41 this morning: that refund; lifetime sales reversals, from −$34.99 to −$28.58; and the blank product_title row, from $0.00 net to $6.41 — its first movement in 33 runs. Almost certainly the same money, but the sign is backwards for a new refund and a pending refund is not a settled one, so the cause is recorded as open rather than solved. What it does establish: that row is live and tied to refund activity, not frozen.
Yesterday morning's run computed #1165's settlement from the fee field rather than a model: $103.66 collected − $3.93 (amex_card_not_present, 3.5% + $0.30) = $99.73. At 10:01 PM ET last night a transfer of exactly $99.73 arrived. The fee field is now a forecasting instrument, not just a reconciliation one, and the ~10 PM ET settlement window has held five for five.
OPEN Nine seconds later a second transfer of $6.78 arrived — exactly #1165's tax, which was already inside the $99.73. That is the fourth such duplicate. Total received on that order reads $106.51 against $103.66 ever tendered. The duplicate-tax credits now stand at $36.87 and grow one order at a time. Worth one support ticket.
Eleven consecutive slots have closed with no evidence of posting, Oct 12 through Oct 22. Today's has not passed yet — this is a partial day and it is not counted.
Sat Oct 24, Diamond Fitness, Boca Raton. Setup 8:30 AM, event 9 AM–12 PM. Confirmed since Oct 7. BLOCKER Street address, cost and headcount are still unconfirmed, and the sachet photo Natalia asked for on Oct 17 is still unsent.
The event falls on day 6 of the Oct 18–26 stockout window with Original at 9 units and oversell switched on, so it will sell past zero rather than stop. A subscription rebills on that same SKU around Nov 13–14, which means a stockout cancels a contract rather than costing one sale. Twenty-four consecutive runs have asked for this reorder; $545.10 is now settled clean and the $300 capital line is unused at 40 days.
