I "paid" for a "streak freeze" right at the begining but never used it. Then it was aways 2/2 - meaning I could miss two days without losing my streak
But now it says 5/5. Is that a mistake? I have had 6 hearts at times in the past.

It seems to be on the app since the currency is gems.
Maybe 6 months ago, I also received 3 new streak freezes. It doesn’t seem like a mistake, just something new that was added to the app.
Losing a streak, particularly a long one, seems to be very demotivating. I remember reading on forums at Duolingo how people didn't feel like continuing their studies after losing their streaks of a year or more. I'd say that the green owl has wisely decided it is best not to punish users regarding this particular oversight.

The app tells me I can get 3 streak freezes if I attain a 100 day streak, but I’ve never seen (or heard of) having 5 streak freezes.
On my tablet I'm told that I have 5 streak freezes (my streak is recently over 1300). But on my phone I see only 2 streak freezes.
I won't trust the 5, but I have used two at a time sometimes in the last few years.

I think saperlipopette wrote something about this in a post somewhere here

I heard that, too.

I just looked at my Duolingo, and it seems I only have 2 streak freezes again. My longest streak was 427 days, but I lost it a little while ago, it would make sense that I have only 2 streak freezes now.
Three extra freezes are awarded for joining the Streak Society.

I wrote a little about the streak freezes and Streak society in the New Achievements thread.

Coming up to 600 days. I just found the page in the image above so it seems like a long service award
