Why is my flame stuck at Warming up?

One habit that's in trouble holds the flame at Warming up, so it can't hide behind the others.

Updated 30 September 2026

A habit that's in real trouble holds the flame at Warming up, even when your overall score is high enough for Full heat. A maxed-out credit card shouldn't be hidden behind a good savings rate.

A habit counts as in trouble when:

  • your savings rate is under 5% of your income,
  • your emergency fund covers less than one month of costs, or
  • your credit utilisation is 50% or more of your limits.

The flame is also held at Warming up while your savings rate is estimated from your plan rather than measured. Import a bank statement so Bunse can see what you actually spend.

The card's summary names the habit that's holding it back. Tap the i for each habit's figure and what would move it.
