Indeed I believe my last break of an edit streak was when I was on a plane / connection without wifi for more than 24h (going from Europe to Japan). I normally edit every day since I have joined (15-ish years now), but I am not so much addicted to edit-count so that I would plan my travel taking this into account or pay for the internet during the flight when I do not need it otherwise. Still, nice to have these streaks having been acknowledged sometimes.
