You had potential activity. At 99 posts and 99 activity, your potential activity was 102.
Now you start posting in a new activity period, your potential activity goes up to 116.
After 16 posts, you reach your potential activity with your acutal activity, any further posts don't give you additional activity.
This brings us to the current situation, 121 posts and 115 activity (soon to be 116).
I'm not sure if I am confused how activity works or if this is unusual.
This is perfectly fine, your understanding of the activity system is just lacking some details.
Ok so what exactly is potential activity, what do you do to get potential activity. Thanks.
You will get 14 potential activity every two weeks if you make at least one post within that period. If you make more than or equal to 14 posts within that period, you will use up all the potential activity you've made during the two weeks. However, if you made only one post during that two weeks, you will have 13 unuse potential activity.
Potential activity will be converted to activity when you make new posts. That means if you make more than 14 posts in two weeks, and you have potential activity left, your potential activity (from the previews two weeks) will be converted to activity.
Activity will always be equal (give the server sometime to update) or less than your post. It will never be higher.

* Sorry even though it has been explained before I manage to post mine version, kindly just let me post it.

Make atleast one post in two weeks, i.e. one period, to earn 14 potential activity points.
Ah ok, so if you left your account and came back after 2 weeks, you have 14 potential activity and then after you gain that potential activity you can then gain another 14 activity? Sorry if im not understand this is just a bit confusing for me.
Yes.
