Lost BAT during the processing period

WHY HAS MY ESTIMATED BAT DECREASED?
It’s important to remember that everything is an estimate until it processes. Advertisers can pay in either BAT or USD and this is then divided among users. As the month goes on, the system tries to track the price of BAT and your payout will change based on that. For those who paid in cash, that means as BAT value increases, you’ll receive less. Like if an ad somehow paid you 1 BAT, which was valued at $0.50 but then increases to $1.20, you’ll not receive 1 BAT but instead would receive something like .62 BAT or so. The trick here is it’s not just based on the current market, but the overall 30 days, which of course changes up until the time payments roll out. If you’d like to dig deeper, I’ll link two articles below here. The main thing to remember is your ESTIMATED total is just that, an estimate and may change.

BAT lost 50% in value within the last 3 months. Nothing special when it comes to cryptocurrencies. But you still receive 0.05 or 0.1 BAT per ad. Does that mean Brave is also paid autonomically from the exchange rate by advertisers?

However, sometimes these values per ad can also be “sticky”. That is, based on the time campaigns are committed to and setup, it may take time for them to adjust to new BAT prices i…
