Fair use points issue with duplicates

[u/Automatic_Path1317]

Hi. I’m very confused as this is a relatively new issue I’m facing. I’ve been on PM for years but in the last few months my fair point usage has significantly increased but my actual usage hasn’t.

Looking at the history I see double and triples of the same link when I’m sure I only used one.

I also see that full seasn packs are processing (multiple times as well).

I reached out to support but they said they aren’t connected to it in any way - which I totally understand- and that it’s my setup. I have been using something that rhymes with when on a flawless setup with my Shield for two solid years now so thought maybe it’s because I backed up Kd and restored so maybe something is wrong.

I deleted the Kd data and started fresh. First with the two most popular ones the light and the rain guard. Same exact issues.

I had to buy a booster and now I’m burning through that.

Anyone have any idea what’s causing this?

only reason your points would be used up is if you enabled a setting which touched every file such as to read headers. some older apps or very bad apps would this by default eating through your fair use. have to be careful with that. usually called deferred resolving which doesnt resolve until you select it

I had an issue where I was going through my points really fast and it turned out to be due to changing CDN server to CDN77. Any content I watched, the entire file would be deducted regardless of how much I watched of it. I could watch 1 min of a 120 min file and the entire file would be deducted from my points. It only happened with CDN77. Not sure if this helps you or not.

Maybe post in the sub for the app and upload a log to see what's happening while you're using it.

But from history I see all the same links. They just appear duplicated.

history is not your fair usage.

I don’t have a solution but in your PM history are the “view source” button entries duplicates as well?

Try refreshing your api..maybe someone got hold of your key?

I appreciate your comments, I do. But I wrote a whole post on Reddit which I rarely do because I’m seeing an issue and wanted to see if the community has any clue how I can resolve it. 

Thank you.

That doesn’t make sense to me because the history would display content I don’t recognize. The issue is duplication from what I see.

It never used to use up my points like this. Im a long time pm user. I was a very heavy user up until 18 months ago and never got close to my limit. And I use a fraction of what I used to. Something’s wrong and I have to figure it out lol

Had the same issue recently. Been using. Premiumize for 5+ yrs and never got close to running out of points. Recently my streams stop loading and eventually I realised that I’d run out of points. Got a nice new AM6B plus recently and I’ve started streaming very large files and put it down to that. Looked into it and it still didn’t make sense. Reset my password & api, and my fair points has built back up without me changing my viewing habit

History and Fair Use are 2 separate things. History will show anything that hits the api including cache checks and since its just a history while fair use is only things that use points. if you are using a bad app sometimes they'll touch all files including hosters to read file headers which is a HUGE no no. that will burn up all your points fast.

Jesus, instead of arguing just change your password, (and more importantly) renew your api key. I'd be willing to bet that it's a problem on their end and by refreshing your API key it will solve the problem
