It makes plenty of sense if you’d look at what’s been linked. Brave had issues that needed to get resolved so they cut off the ability to link to Uphold or Gemini for all but 19 countries where things were working well. This meant only NEW connections. If you were already linked to Uphold or Gemini, then you still received payments there. However, once you became disconnected, you’d not be able to link again until things were resolved.
You would be earning BAT on both. But you’d only be getting perhaps one of them on Gemini, as the other wasn’t connected.
If you mean you had 1 BAT taken, you probably have Auto-Contribute turned on. Make sure to go to brave://rewards and look to see if it’s toggled on. If so, it’ll continue taking 1 BAT a month.
Which means it disconnected. And as said, right now regions have been disallowed to connect to Uphold or Gemini until issues are resolved. They are slowly bringing them back. Such as they just added France again today.
