What happened to my "Top Contributor" status?
I have 4656 points and 20% best answers. I have had a Top Contributor status for months. Today it is gone. What happened?
Sorry - This question probably does not follow the community guidelines but I am curious and can not find an answer.
Thanks for your help and please don't report mr. I rarely ask question and would like some input from those of you who are more computer savvy than this old lady is.
Thanks so much.

If you don't get enough points during a cycle (not sure how long, 1 or 2 weeks) it will disappear. Then you need to get enough to get it back. If you take a vacation etc you will lose it.

I have over 150,000 points & 45% and mine goes away if I don't use it for a while.
I think they need to do something for us long time TCs.
My 2 cents.
BTW; this is a legit question.

Top Contributor has absolutely nothing to do with best answer percentage.
What it refers to is how often you ask and answer in a particular category.
Sounds like you have been branching out to newer categories...that's cool! TC really doesn't mean anything other than you hang out a lot in one category anyway...it's better to spread your curiosity and knowledge to be a more well rounded contributor, IMHO.
