A bug in Provisional Correspondence Ratings?

I have played 18 rated games of Correspondence Chess. My temporary rating is 2247?
Something is wrong here. One, people have told me that it usually takes 12 games to get a recognized correspondence rating. Two, I have noticed that every day my rating deviation goes up even if I did not start or finish any correspondence games on that day. For instance about 3 days ago my rating deviation was about 110.75, now it has crept up to 111.40. Even though I completed no games in that time. That has to be a bug surely.

Does this leave me with a Sisyphean task to get an established rating in Correspondence chess on Lichess? Every time I get close to 110 which seems to be the required deviation, for no reason my deviation goes up again.
