Description of the issue:
Was on version 1.0 of brave browser and had accumulated 21.9 BAT rewards from watching ads and web pages.

I hadn’t received any ads in a long while and was not accumulating rewards so I eventually clicked on the in-browser update button on the upper right and completed the install of the new browser version.

NOTE: During install I chose a new install path, in my thinking, as a way to safeguard the current browser showing 21.9 bat and allowing the updated browser to install successfully where I would sign-in and verify my rewards.

As described, the new version shows my BAT rewards as 0.00 and the older version of the browser does not let me open it, as it comes up with an error message that stated…

Hi @royalwichiz,
Can you confirm what macOS version you’re using?
For installation - did you run the installer or did you click update within Brave?

Hello Aa-ron,

I am using and was using macOS 10.13.5. I clicked update from within the browser.

My Brave browser version is currently
Version 1.22.71 Chromium: 89.0.4389.114 (Official Build) (x86_64)

Other than my pending Brave rewards, the browser has “remembered” my bandwidth usage savings, time savings, and ad blackage numbers (as seen in attached screenshot).

Thanks for your reply.

Hi @royalwichiz,
I believe the issue is that your running two installations of Brave. I suggest you remove the new one, go to https://brave.com/ download a new installer. Run the new installer, if you get a prompt to replace or keep both, please click replace.

Hello,

I am having the same problem using macOS 10.15.7. I followed your steps and it didn’t work. my brave broweser remembers my bandwidth/time/savings etc and even shows me my BAT accumulated, but it shows as 0.0. And now I can’t even see my brave rewards settings. Any help is much appreciated. Please see attached screenshots.
