Did not get enough actions from free binge breather
I used my free binge around 6:05-6:15. I played for a while until I ran out of actions around 7:00. I should have still had over 30 mins left on my binge so I should have had at least 30 actions when I got back later. I put my computer to sleep and when I got back at 7:45 I only had 9 actions. Why did my binge stop early?

If you close the game and open it again after your binge is over it uses you default refresh rate to calculate your new actions (same with anything else that changes your refresh rate, including things that make it worse). If you open it while the binge is still going, you get the binge rate.

The reason this was changed from the previous behaviour was because people were playing a full binge and then closing the app one minute before it ran out, to refill their actions completely as an exploit. Binges were only ever intended for when you're actually playing anyway (hence the name).

But why do it either way? Doing it either of those 2 ways ensures you don't get an accurate amount of actions if you log back in after the expiration of whatever modifier you have. Instead, if you log in after the expiration, you just give the actions based on the expiration time, up to the expiration time. After that time, you just give the amount of actions based on the normal refresh rate. Then you can't exploit anything. As the system stands now, you can still exploit refresh penalties by just closing the game and waiting for the penalty to expire. Why let people do it either way?

Ideally it would work this way but I'm a solo developer and it'll be *much* more complex to implement, so taking the time to work on this would take away quite a lot of time from working on new content and other features. I think most players would prefer the latter to be prioritised at the moment, but I'm sure I'll work on this when I have the time.
