Okay @Tanklet I’m honestly under the impression that the boosts are being allocated upon a backlog of downloads/print time accrued now…
I just received today another (4) boosts after giving out (4) lol… I’ve received (6) total boosts in 3 days and I just gave out (4) yesterday…
We will check it. Thanks for reporting it!

In addition to having received a lot of Boosts to give out over the last few weeks (often 2, then 2 more on the same Sunday), I have started getting emails reminding me my boosts are expiring. BUT I had already given them out, the few boosts I still have to give are still valid for at least 3 weeks.
Like just 20 minutes ago:
The expiry period increased to 4 weeks instead of 1 week when they first launched.
Without gaining any extras, you can accrue 8 to hand out if you hold back the first 3 weeks’ worth until you get the 4th week’s amount.
This is based on being entitled to receive them based on the publicised criteria.

Yep, But I currently have 3 left, first one expires September 18, two more expire on Sept 24.
It’s weird that today I got a bunch of emails saying I should use boosts expiring September 3, when those were already used at least a week ago. I got similar emails last week. More bugs, I assume.
There is a week between Sep 18 and Sep 24. So that explains that.
The reminders normally arrive when you have one or more unused a week before their expiry.
So, it seems weird you received a warning about expended Boosts.
I had been getting them 2 per week, then suddenly I got 4 + 2 one week, then since then a few months ago its a consistent clip of 2 per week. My MW printing habits are constant though, I’m one of those weirdos who thinks he’s not getting value from the printer unless it’s printing something uselful 24/7, which is why I’m saving up points for a 2nd printer LOL.

That’s funny, yeah I will find something to print to support the platform and community content and help out un-noticed models.
I didn’t bring this topic up to complain about the amount of boosts I’m receiving but I mean I do want what’s specifically mentioned within the “rules” to be accurate at least. They only state (2) boosts/week so typically that means 7/days I’d expect
Meanwhile some aren’t getting enough and I’m over here with more than I can hand out. If I’m just boosting models I haven’t downloaded but they look cool I find that defeats the purpose of what MW wanted the boost to do.

Today, I printed a model (>= 30 min.) and didn’t receive any boost…
Are you getting mine? If so, don’t forget to send them back!
