Robbed of rating.

I solved some tactical puzzles on lichess mobile app, but only my losses were counted and my rating dropped despite solving most of them. Bug or my fault somehow?
You should be able to see very recent history of how much points you gained and lost from puzzles, like here:

Maybe the puzzles you were doing for some reason lost you more points than gained?

Sometimes you can be losing much more points for falling than from winning. I don't know all the factors, but one of them can be puzzles difficulty.

Also, I noticed that sometimes puzzles can don't give you rating at all, especially if accessed through the link, than from Continue Training of just entering Puzzles.
@Scarlet_Evans I checked my puzzle history and it does not show my most recent playthrough of puzzles. Those 21 games I played on a lichess app, and I'm not seeing them registered, yet I still lost rating.

It couldn't have been from losing more points on failed puzzles because the chance of 5 games dropping my rating so much against 16 won puzzles is really minuscule. Either way, thank you for trying to help.

No problem, I hope you will find your answer, even if it's not this one.
(And I noticed that different topics on this forum can often quickly drop down while remaining unanswered, so it's good to keep them alive an occasionally bump up, until one can get an answer :-) )
If you've previously attempted a puzzle and got it wrong you won't later get points for getting it right.
