Most cachers use their GC account to collect both caches and labs. Hence Project-GC Stats show Labs as a tab on their individual Profile Stats page. A minority opted out and have 2 accounts = one for the real deal (geocaches) and the other as a sock account for AdLabs only. To reflect the "footwork involved" making valid geocache finds, as opposed to carpark "geoart" AdLab counts.

Until this weekend - for the last two months or so, one can view "Lab Caches" stats on their sock accounts. For me its SurdiVisio_AL. I can see which months or days are low or too high. However if I disable "Lab Caches" for my SurdiVisio account (PjGC paid membership), then the Labs tab disappears from my SV-AL stats. Is this an unintended bug or functioning as designed?

This is working as intended as the settings under "Appearance and Preferences" are used for what you are seeing on every profile stats you're looking at. So if you're including lab caches you're including lab caches on all profiles and not just your own.
