Survival title glitch?

Looked for a similar thread and didn't find it.

I've never been a fan of the Surivor title ranks, never had the patience, however every time I start a character I try not to die, just in case I might get it. Started a Ele a couple of days ago and at about level 11 I died once. Usually (or at least what I remember) this would mean the survivor title would freeze on the amount of experience I had...however mine had sort of a reset. It started on again, now I'm level 18 (might have died a couple of times after that, I'm sure I did as a matter of fact) and if I type /deaths, I get something like "This character has died X times and has gained X experience since". The "X experience, is the same as my Survivor title bar" sort of as if every time I die, it goes back to 0 but still if I get the 140k exp I will get it. Right now I'm level 18 and have 51k exp since my last death. Is this normal? (As i said i never cared or payed attention to the survivor bar) or is it some kind of glitch / change?

Sorry if it's something totally normal, I just never noticed it.

The survivor title was updated a while ago. Now you have an infinite number of chances to achieve it:

Every time a player dies, their progress in the survivor title freezes and the exp tracker resets.

Yep, basically just better to focus on other titles, and if you happen to get 1,337,500 xp since your last death, you have maxed your title. Easy if you for example go HM farming later like Vaettirs. You could have the title in just hours that way.
