Haven't reached daily limit but cant download free patterns...

When I try to download a pattern it wont let me because it says I reached my daily limit but I only downloaded 1 pattern today? Anyone know why?

It goes by 24 hours, not days (so if you got 4 other patterns in the last 24 hours that’s why)

I got 5 patterns yesterday already though… :sweat_smile:

That’s strange @Ribblr

The pattern limit is 24 hours from when the patterns
were received, not just a calendar day. So, if you got them at 11 pm yesterday, you have to wait until 11 pm tonight also.
If you got one at 10 pm, one would be available at 10 pm today.

I agree, it should go by days

i think the reason they dont do that is because people could just change the days on their phones, but the 24hrs can be kept in ribblr’s servers. hope that helps a little :3

Another reason could be that the first pattern you downloaded was a bundle (or contained several patterns). For example: in your case, the pattern you downloaded could have actually been entered as “five” patterns … even if all together its only one complete pattern — its all in how the designer listed it.

Early in my membership I downloaded a pattern and it counted as 4 patterns because the character, it’s clothes and it’s 2 friends were entered into ribbuild separately. When messaging the designer, she said she had no idea that would happen … she just thought the separating would make using her instructions easier.

Another is if the “bundle” box is checked. Hope this helps.

It is eliminated if you become a gold member … tgen you have unlimited free downloads…well worth t g e cost, in my opinion. :partying_face::blue_heart:

I didnt download any bunddles, but I didnt know each pattern in the bundle could count as 1! Thanks!

well each place around the world has different days like when the day starts and ends so it’d be kinda confusing

Yeah, i guess 24 hours makes more sense in that case

@Ribblr It would be useful to see the downloaded date time on the patterns, im hitting this issue today too and i don’t even remember when i downloaded them yesterday (if it even was yesterday). Unfortunately it means i cannot download todays treat :frowning:. Maybe if its a timebased offer it should be except from the limit.

Yeah same, i just tried it this morning and its still blocked its definitely been over 24hrs now. Pity, my daughter really liked the look of this ‘treat’. I think the counter is busted anyway since i never did get my 2x pattern from the spin freebies :(
