Tasks suddenly duplicated overnight

I logged in this morning as usual, except to find I had 27 tasks due for today instead of two. The last task I entered last night somehow got duplicated 26 times, and the other task I entered last night also got duplicated, 36 times. So instead of 2 tasks due, I had 62. This was not the case last night before I logged out, so its obviously some kind of bug that wants me overworked!!

The same thing happened to me last night. I had two tasks that multiplied overnight - one 80 times, the other one 20 something. I was using the online version of Todoist.

On the upside, deleting all the extras made me look wicked productive today! ~100 tasks completed!

The same thing happened to me last night. Several tasks that I added late in the day Thursday were duplicated 20 times each?

Hello,

Thank you for your reports, I've passed them to the developers, we'll look into this matter.

Note sure if this was fixed, but today my Todoist is doing the same thing (duplicating one item 20+ times on list). How can I fix this?

Hello Courtney,

This issue has been fixed already and unfortunately, it's been caused by a short outage a couple of days ago, we're very sorry for the inconvenience. Please tell me - when exactly did your task duplicate? Did you use Todoist in the recent days and you're sure that this issue occurred today?

If so, please tell me:
- What devices are you accessing Todoist on?
- Are you always working with it online or offline?


Best regards,
David

I just checked it today, so you are right it may have happened over the weekend. Here is the other info:
> accessing on web (safari) and through app on laptop
> working with it online

Thanks for the help! :)

David, in case this is useful:

It was only the tasks I added the day before that multiplied overnight.

I was working in the online todoist, in Firefox, on a Mac.

cheers,
Sarah
