I recently encountered a serious issue with my FIDE classical rating and need guidance.

After participating in a FIDE-rated tournament from March 27th to 31st, 2024, my rating was initially published as 1406 on May 1st. However, I noticed it reduced to 1403 in mid-May and then to 1401 in early June. Now, my rating is completely removed, showing "NotRated" status with all my rankings blank.

Can anyone explain why this happened and anyone having same issues? I have already email fide officials regarding this matter.

I believe they re-rate events and sometimes events come in later that happened first and the ratings of the previous entered event would no longer be accurate.

The minimum rating available for FIDE is 1400 now, so if your rating performance dropped below that you would no longer have a rating.

Yes, that's true, this happened because my performance rating was less than 1400.

I questioned my national federation and FIDE about this issue. I received a response from Gopakumar M S, a well-known International Arbiter and the Rating Officer of India. He explained that

"If your rating is displayed earlier because of a mistake/error on FIDE's end, and they have now rectified it. Please note that FIDE periodically corrects any past calculation errors."
