The karma calculation is working in the same way it was before that bug was
introduced, which bloated our caching tables, causing everyone's karma to
increase by huge amounts every day. Since karma degrades over time[1], it's
expected that your karma will stay around the same amount when you're working
at your usual pace --that's how it works for everybody.

Note that it's very unlikely that your karma will stay exactly the same during
a whole week (since it's updated daily), so if you keep experiencing that,
please let me know and I'll investigate it further.

Cheers,
