Won't last - they're scrapping real-time reporting in January, if I remember the memo correctly. Which makes it odd that they improve it six weeks before scrapping it.

The odd thing is that now they have revealed the lie that their system "couldn't" report in real time, they're apparently now going to take even longer to report them.
iSNAFU.

They've commented on this and the reason is that they are paying out subs from the previous royalty structure now in order to transition to the new royalty structure.

Yesterday the 'admin adjustments' came in. These are regularly the subs adjustment for sales to buyers who have bought a the confusingly-named 'subscription pack'. You can usually check out unexpected bumps by downloading the 'monthly' csv file. Allegedly the immanent, but postponed, changes are to "improve transparency and reporting" but I'm not holding my breath. We shall see.
