Carry out this task

  1. Open the linked tool and save the entered values.
  2. Export JSON and compare start, count date, capacity and used amount after import.
  3. After importing the validated backup, open the restored record and compare every entered field with the table.

Calculation and observed tool result

Capacity remaining = max(0, 800 − 300) = 500 litres; 500 ÷ 5 = 100 days. Calendar limit 2027-02-28; earlier estimated review 2027-02-09 (100 days from count date).

Recorded quantity: 500 litres.

What the result means

The one-hundred-day capacity estimate retains its original count-date meaning.

A mistake to avoid

Restoring only a remaining-litre number loses essential forecast context.

Limits of this example

A restored historical count should be updated before current planning.
