As it happens infrequently on my Fine Offset( ws3083), today I had to remove the batteries after a lockup. Cumulus MX did show the rainfall for today 0.6mm before the reset but not after. My roll over is at 9am. Cumulus 1 showed 0.6mm before and after. (I run both programs but only one at a time).

Yes I did edit the rainfall on Cumulus MX to add 0.6mm after I found this.
This has not happened before.

ok that doesn't tell me anything much other that the catch-up is working and showing 6.3 mm of rain since midnight, and 0.6 mm today.

The run is stopped immediately after the archive catch up. I would have expected to see the first data read from the station produce a message about the rain counter being reset. Did you see the value go to zero on the dashboard at this point?

By using the last daily backup it has been corrected.
