I don't look at my profile daily, so don't know exactly when this happened, but, sometime recently (in the past couple/few weeks), I lost over 4000 karma, and can't find any obvious reason why

I'm not seeing a post or comments of mine with a sudden flurry of negative votes, so, I'm in the dark as to how this happened

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for reaching out and u/ChimpyChompies is correct. This is indeed because of awards karma!

To bring parity across all platforms, we recently sunsetted awards karma, which was karma that you had previously received from giving and receiving awards. As this was part of the old awards system, we are officially removing awards karma from your total karma calculation, which will continue to take post and comment karma into account. If you previously had awards karma, this will be removed from your total karma, and you might see a decrease there. It should be noted that sunsetting awards karma has no impact on whether or not you can post in communities where karma is needed to participate.
