Pokemon Go Streak Broken Message Resets A Mystic Hero Special Research Progress

Update: Trainers, Niantic and Pokemon Go acknowledged their mistake and they will be autocompleting step 3 of the A Mystic Hero Special Research.
Trainers, due to an issue where progress was reset on Page 3 of A Mystic Hero Special Research, we will be auto-completing this page. Your rewards will still be available to claim on Page 3 of the Special Research. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Previous Story: Pokemon Go players are receiving a “broken streak” message, and after logging in, it resets A Mystic Hero Special Research progress. This is no fun at Niantic. As we get one step closer to enjoyment, you are pushing us back again and again, so please fix this issue as soon as possible, so we can all enjoy the game.
Pokemon Go players are losing progress and step 3/4 of the A Mystic Hero Special Research resets all tasks to zero. Players are reporting losing all excellent throws after the game crashed and getting the streak broken message. Players who received the broken streak message must start all over again and are not very happy about it.
Here are some comments from the Pokemon Go community on Twitter:
Mine reset this morning as well. It’s a struggle for me to get out and get the buddy candies, so this was really annoying!

Oh, is that what "streak broken" meant… resetting my progress, JFC 🤬 But please, do continue with the radio silence, Niantic 👏👏👏

This has happened to a lot of Pokemon Go players and Niantic needs to do something about it.
Did the same happen to you? Did you lose A Mystic Hero Research progress, and now you must start all over again? Not cool at all Niantic.
Nah. I finished it and didn’t leave it sitting there.
Happy to hear that!
Your tone is kinda implying that other players deserve this cuz unlike you, they didn’t get through in one go. Is that what you mean to say?
Hi there and thanks for your comment. No one deserves to lose something (in our case the Special Research progress), especially if someone paid for something. We have also shared all steps and tasks, which means we have successfully completed them. It doesn’t matter now, as Niantic and Pokemon Go have replied and confirmed they will be auto-completing step 3. I’m really sorry if I’ve got misunderstood. Thanks again, and have a great day.
I did mine just fine and my Lapras that spawned came out shiny for me so I’m happy.
That’s a win-win right there!
It reset both my accounts.
Sad to hear that…and the fact that you must start all over again, and some have been one task away from completing it. It’s not cool at all.
Jokes on them… It gave me a second chance to get an inkay lol
I had the problem but I did not care about it cus I’m not doing it again. The compensation was nice for me cus I did not try to finish the mission.
