What happens if points weren't generated for a certain day?
Sometimes things happen which prevent the points generation task from running. When this happens, any points not assigned for that day will still be in the monthly pool and will be disbursed during subsequent days - this will result in a slightly higher per-day allocation for the remainder of the month.
Sometimes a day is skipped, yes. The points from that day is then divided amongst and added to each of the remaining days that month. This is why points seem to get a boost after each skip. The total number of points each month is always correct. Nobody is withholding our money.
It's a known issue, they've talked about it on the dev discord.
But it's only a visual issue in the front-end, actual download counts ARE being recorded and count towards reward points. It's just the display that's really late at updating, and seem to get stuck.
Also, you don't have a logged in curseforge page opened on some random other computer, do you? A bit far fetched, but it could be they're all being marked as read by being "seen" some place you are note? o.O
I keep getting these tax form mails from twitch too, I guess we all do.
The thing is that most of us still have twitch accounts from the former merge, and twitch too has stuff related to money involved. So for twitch streamers and similar, the mail matters. For those of us only working with addons on curseforge and now overwolf, it does not.
But to put it another way, it does not do anything bad to fill in the tax form at twitch. They aren't tricking you, there's no security risk involved. :)
Well that should be simple enough. You just to your authors dashboard, go to the "my transactions" tab, find your order, click it, and click "cancel order" in its overview. Yes, there is a big button for it there. Not that hard to find tbh! ;)
Orders aren't processed until the first week of the month following the month you placed the order in, so no money has been sent anywher yet. If you for some reason are talking about an order already sent to accounting and already fulfilled, then it's out of their hands.
What you're supposed to see is are input fields for your paypal address and 2FA token. If it's not there, you either didn't get this far because of some account related issue, or your browser is for some reason blocking it.
So in danger of stating the obvious, make sure you are logged in, that your (new) 2FA is correctly registered after overwolf took over, and that you have any ad filters like adblock or the one included in the Brave browser turned OFF for this site. Might also try different browser.
Also, trying later the same day or the next day sometimes works wonders too. Doesn't happen often, but sometimes there are DDoS attacks that just slows the website down to syrup. Doesn't look like that was the issue in your case, though.
Can't actually see the link you posted, because it's blocked. /doh
But one guess would be if you post donation links to patreon, paypal or similar. That is against most forum rules at any place on the Internet, as it would be considering advertising, and thus spam. Also if you post a lot of links to non-curse sites, that would probably be considered spam.
So without actually knowing the issue, I would say try removing all links that aren't to curseforge, and then see what happens.
There have been multiple gaps each month, as long as I have been a part of it, which is at least 10 years now. If there are multiple gaps each month, and always is like this, then no; it is not daily. It is semi-daily.
Since 4 days curseforge doesn't give me reward points and i don't know why. Is something broken? Will i recover the points i lost since these 4 days?
You never lose anything. Points aren't awarded daily, there has always been gaps of several days now and then. Your generated points are distributed evenly across the days you receive points.
Meaning if you get 30 points but only 20 days of the month, that means you earned 600 points that month. If you had gotten them awarded every single day, then you would only have been getting 20 points each day. You never lost anything, it's simply not a system where points are handed out daily. Never has been.
There is a topic about this about 5 rows below this one at the time of writing, and everything is more or less answered there. As well as links to the few sources of information we have:
They are working on rewriting the 2 factor authentication system, as having it rely on twitch is no longer an option. When will it be ready? Who knows. Every week it's "next week" or "delayed". So my guesstimate is that we might get the store at the very end of the year, or possibly not until 2021.
They've definitely done something weird to the point generation algorithm. My addon with a tiny fraction of downloads is getting twice as many points as a far more popular addon.
No, you're not. That was just the extra points generated during those weeks we didn't get points mixed into it. If not already, it'll go back to what it was previously in a day or two. Mine are down again. No more points on average yet.
Point generation has more or less been turned back on today, on November 25th 2020. There is no way to cash them out, though, as the store is empty and no connection to PayPal payouts currently seem to exist.
As they stated in the linked post, Overwolf will be handling this, and the transition should be "at the end of the month", so I guess we'll be informed in a week or so what happens next. One can guess, but guesses aren't facts. There is a chance we won't be getting any more payouts until early 2021, though. And we should all be prepared for that scenario.

No idea, I'm getting notifications all the time.
You should check your settings at https://authors.curseforge.com/account/notifications after logging in, just to see if it's all set up like you want to and not having been changed for some unknown reason.
Also, you don't have a logged in curseforge page opened on some random other computer, do you? A bit far fetched, but it could be they're all being marked as read by being "seen" some place you are note? o.O

They sometimes update the status on the curseforge reward store card on their trello progress board:

Other than that, following the Overwolf and CurseForge blogs on Medium might give some insights and news now and then:

Yeah, I haven't seen anything either yet. Already 7+ days later than usual.
