Streak freezes

What are streaks? 

Streaks are a fun way to track your progress by measuring consecutive days of learning. The more days you learn, practice or engage with Datacamp, the longer your streak becomes. Streaks are designed to encourage consistent learning habits and keep you motivated as you advance toward your goals. To meet your streak each day, you simply need to earn 250XP (roughly the size of one lesson, 4 exercises, or a practice session).

How do I earn a streak? 

You can earn a streak by completing 250XP each day, such as completing a lesson, 4 exercises or a practice session. Each consecutive day of completion adds to your streak. If you skip a day, your streak will reset unless you have a streak freeze in place.

What are streak freezes, and how do I earn them? 

Streak freezes allow you to maintain your streak even if you miss a day. Whenever you extend your streak, there is a chance you may be awarded streak freezes, ensuring that your hard-earned progress is protected in case of unexpected breaks. You can have a maximum of 2 streak freezes at any time.

Who are streak freezes available to?

The streak freeze feature is available for all users.
