The contest was announced as rated up to <2500, but ratings affected even above 2500.

Does Codechef publish editorial of contest?

Hello ,
This looks like a temporary bug in CodeChef’s rating calculation system.

If the contest was officially announced as rated for <2500, then profiles above 2500 should not be affected.
Sometimes the rating script accidentally updates everyone’s ratings.
Don’t worry — CodeChef admins always fix such cases and roll back the wrong updates.

You can keep an eye on the official announcements here:
CodeChef Announcements

So if your account was above 2500, the ratings will be corrected soon .

Yes , CodeChef always publishes official editorials for every rated contest.

On the Contest Page → Open any problem → Check the “Editorial” tab.
You can also find all editorials collected here:
Contest Editorials on Discuss

Note: Editorials may not appear immediately when the contest ends. They’re usually posted a few hours later — so just wait a bit .

Hope this helps Happy coding!
