Why do I keep getting lower rated opponents on Daily Outgoing challenges?

I have my Incoming/Outgoing settings set as follows but I keep only getting opponents that are 400 o more ratings points lower than my own rating when I create Daily game challenges. Am I not using the settings correctly? Here are my settings:
Incoming: -25 < > infiniti
Outgoing: -25 < > infiniti

Shouldn't my settings indicate that I only want opponents with ratings no less than -25 my own rating but as high as possible?


I only keep getting very low rated opponents... Is there a bug you need to fix, Chess.com?

EDIT: I should also mention that this settings only show when I go to the Live Chess section of my settings. When I go to the Daily Chess section, there's no such option for incoming/outgoing games. Is this option not available for Daily Chess games?

I searched your daily chess games and I only saw 1 opponent rated under 1400 in the last six months.

Are you aborting all those games?

I did abort 1 or 2 games a couple times. The first time when I got players rated -600 than my own. The second time I updated my settings trying to see if a refresh would fix it, and then got a couple -400 rated players again. That's when I decided to post this. 

Pretty much all the daily games I've played in the past have been by me exploring the Open Seeks section and manually selecting players of a reasonable rating... but now I don't see that option for Open Seeks anywhere in the Daily Games area. Has that feature also gone away?

It happened with me too today (june 2) and yesterday too.  Why this apple polish (justdoubtothers) is putting a question mark in this bug

The rating pool is very small
