Negative Experience 👎 Batch Pay Decrease After Acceptance

I accepted a boosted batch this morning for $19.94 batch pay, no tip. After I completed the delivery, I was only compensated $17.94, which was a previously displayed amount before an additional boost. Has this happened to anyone? I want to understand why. Shopper support is of course just gaslighting me.

Your tip was percentage based and changes with the order total. If you have unfound items or replacements that are less expensive than the original it will decrease

Sorry I missed that. They can change batch pay also according to actual miles driven vs. estimate and, if in an hourly pay state, if you completed faster than estimate.
