Why do I suddenly have so many more appointments in Acuity Scheduling?
The Acuity Scheduling help pages give 3 common reasons. The first to rule out: If recurring appointments are on, one client booking can add several appointments at once.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the Acuity Scheduling help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.

How would I know the day it starts?
- Feder reads the appointments kept in Acuity Scheduling each day and compares each day with your own history.
- It does not read who booked each appointment. It tells you when appointments go quiet or move outside their usual range.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
