Yesterday someone pointed me out that I shouldn't be able to have 4x shiny anniversary rewards but I do.

In theory, according to 9th and 12th anniversary post, we are able to adopt one shiny egg for every 4 years that you've been a member on PokeHeroes. So, in 12 years, just 3 should be adoptable per user.
But in my case I have these 4, all adopted by me. Here are their links:


I've thought in the timeline and, the bug/glitch seems to have happened on 9th anniversary because, after I adopted both shiny anniversary cakes three years ago, the option to adopt a 3rd shiny was always available here (though i kept it as unclaimed and full forgot about its existence).
I never thought that could be a bug until yesterday when I adopted the newest shiny cupcakes and the user I mentioned pointed it that out.

I've discarded that it can be a bug affecting all users as I've asked other users from the old guard who also reached 12 years in PH, and they can't adopt that 4th shiny.
But I also can't assure if this just happened to me or if more people are affected because it is not only about searching people with 4x OT shiny gifts, but also people with unclaimed shinies in their anniversary page


As a huge shiny collector this is not something I'd like to happen but, in the name of fair play, this boy should lose its shininess and be changed into a normal one so we are all in the same playing conditions.


EDIT: I don't think this is relevant, but who knows. These are ALL the gifts I've claimed so far during these 12 years:
5x Anniversary Cake (3 normal + 2 shinies)
4x Anniversary Cupcake (2 normal + 2 shinies)
2x Pienda (2 normal + 0 shinies)

can confirm I was able to claim a 2nd shiny cupcake (4th shiny in total) as well, though it only showed up once I got the anniv notification today - before, it'd show up as regular cupcake (after claiming the initial shiny cupcake yesterday that is)

Im pretty sure this had happened before when the anniversary cakes had their shiny implemented (PH 9th anniversary). Users who havent claimed their anniversary gifts before the 9th anniversary (who have been on PH for at least 4 years) are able to get multiple shiny anniversary eggs (depending on the remaining gifts that they havent claimed yet). It most likely that this is just the same case as that.

@~razpberry - That was also a bug ^^'
