For the bug to appear there has to be a combination of this three types of users:
- Has more than 100 books
- Combines sideloaded and store bought books
- Has synching on

Just the first type is not that frequent, so I suppose there aren't much bug reports, and since restoring account+signing off then on restores the functionality temporarily, it's difficult to get the chat support to file a report since their checklist solution "works".

For my part, I tried to file a report years ago, I suspect the chat support just close my ticket with a solved despite my efforts to try to get them to acknowledge my problem, and I have been trying to live with the resetting of my account every few months until a couple of months ago.

I don't need synching so much, so I just created a new account without books, registered the Kobo to that account, and transferred the statistics of the old stored bought books to the new sideloaded books. If I ever have the urgent need of reading a recently bought book before I have time to process it in Calibre, I'll just use the web reader on my phone.
