Hi,

I have a codecov.yml file in my GitHub repository with the following configuration:

```yml
coverage:
  range: "50...100"

status:
  project: no
  patch: no

```

But the color range still seems to have its default value of 75..100, which should have been changed to 50..100 and codecov is still doing status checks, which it should’ve stopped

### Expected result:

- Status checks shouldn’t be there
- Badge should be yellowish

### What I’ve tried already:

- Renaming `codecov.yml` to `.codecov.yml`
- Moving the file to the repo’s root
- Changing `project: no` to `project: false`

Am I doing something wrong? [Here’s my repo for reference](https://github.com/paramt/MemeAdviser)…

I found the solution: The config file was working, it’s just that `status` had to be indentented
