The MW3 bug was first a problem in February but it still hasn’t been properly fixed as of April, although there have been a couple of patches since then that have helped the issue.

The rank was reset due to a service outage. Since the Call of Duty outage X page posted “A service outage that prevented progress from being tracked in various modes and features, including events, challenges, Battle Pass, SR, access to specific modes like Zombies, and more, is recovering.” Since then, they have not said much more about the situation other than, updates and fixes are being rolled out gradually.

For now, there is not much more you can do than wait for the impending update and fix, but the good news is the fix should reset the problem. Considering how big the problem is, it can’t be much longer until a fix is rolled out.
