[nYNAB] I did something wrong with my income and I'm not sure what, even less how to fix it

Hello there, new user to this amazing piece of software and I'm fairly sure I've made a rookie mistake but I'm not sure what it is nor how to fix it.

So I created an account at the beginning of the month and got my first paycheck a few days later. I entered the amount (let's say $1000 to keep things simple) as a transaction on my bank account for that day and chose the Repeat option for "every other week". Instantly, YNAB understood I would get 2 paychecks this months and set $2000 as my money to allocate (how smart!), which I then allocated, which took me a while but I managed it. Yay.

Next payday comes and for some reason YNAB does not enter another $1000 for my paycheck: so what, I simply add it as a new transaction. But now, surprise! Now I have $1000 more to budget, for a total of $3000, which is an extra $1000 I clearly do not have.

So I probably shouldn't have added this transaction in the first place and yet YNAB did not add the amount to my bank account, so I'm confused about what should've happened or what I should've done in the first place. Was putting the amount on Repeat a bad idea, and if so how can I undo it? Otherwise, how should I handle my biweekly paychecks so thatr YNAB knows how much to allow for budgeting?

Thank you for your time. :)
