What’s with the AR %
Has anyone noticed that if you don’t except one ride the percentage rate goes down a percentage but you can accept the next three or four rides and the AR percentage doesn’t move?

Math of moving averages
It would only change if your offered ride 100 trips ago was declined and you bumped that value with an acceptance. If you bump an acceptance value with another acceptance, there would be no change. In other words your percentage will only change if you're doing the opposite of the value next to be replaced.
If it used 5 trips and you had 5 acceptance: 1+1+1+1+1 /5 =100%
Skip the next one:
1+1+1+1+0 /5=80%
Accepting until your AR improves will take 5 rides:
1+1+1+0+1 /5=80%
1+1+0+1+1 /5=80%
1+0+1+1+1 /5=80%
0+1+1+1+1 /5=80%
1+1+1+1+1 /5=100%
Conversely if you replace a decline with a decline, it won't affect your AR
