The Wiki has a nice information on Recent Average Credit.

Wiki: Recent Average Credit

Basically, it's a running average of how much you've turned in lately. As a rough analogy, RAC is your speedometer (how fast you're going), Total Credit is your odometer (total distance traveled).

Because of the vagaries of granted credit and the formula used to calculate it, small fluctuations in RAC happen all the time. Unless there's a sudden sharp drop or sharp rise, minor variations are nothing to worry about.

Happy crunching,
Brian

Excellent "mundane analogous comparison" to everyday items anyone could understand imo!

:)

* This field needs that imo, that level of understanding where you can form analogy to everyday mundane items so ALL folks can understand 'em!

(Especially in a field FAR too 'overridden' imo by PkZip compressed english in the form of the bane of the written & spoken word - acronyms!)
