This is what I'm referring to. I've been on the site since 2015, so in theory I earned my 5-year badge in 2020, but it says it was "obtained" in 2024.
I'm not fussed, but I imagine some people might be sensitive to this
For the ones we choose ourselves, I suspect some people might also want to display when they actually crossed that threshold, e.g. someone who flew their millionth mile in 2017 might want people to know that happened in 2017, even though they only added that badge to their profile in October 2024 (I'm assuming for the self-selected badges, it's choosing the date based on when you add it).
Oh yeah, that's just going to be the floor for all badges. We don't have retroactive attribution options
