If you have a trip that crosses months, hard pay (block hrs flown) is split between months, but I believe all credit (could be just trip credit) gets tacked on the last day of the trip - ie the new month.
Well if a leg cancels in the first month, the credit will be applied at the end of the trip - in the next month. It makes sense that the company will not know trip credit until the end of the trip.
No worries - unless your credit bump now prevents you from getting that Sweet 2 day WS because you are over the max pick-up.

I learned this lesson in Dec. Got a regular line in Dec but back to reserve for Jan with no chance of breaking 70. Picked up a 4 day that started on the 30th of Dec and had 2 hours of hard time in Dec and all credit in Jan. Just glad I was able to get rid of it! Would have been an absolute waste of my time.
