### Description

In the codecov.yml the coverage that’s being defined is project coverage. However, when the notification posts back to github it’s listed as “codecov/patch” coverage. I’m hoping this is the reason why I’m seeing the behavior mentioned in [Relative coverage increase](https://community.codecov.com/t/relative-coverage-increase/353); I don’t care about incremental coverage, I only want to check project-wide coverage deltas.

### Repository

private

### Versions

This is checking node code, ci is circleci, repo is hosted in github.

### Additional Information

Codecov definition:

```auto
codecov:
  require_ci_to_pass: no
  notify:
    wait_for_ci: no

coverage:
  status:
    project:
      default:
        target: auto
        base: auto
        threshold: 0%
        if_ci_failed: error
        paths:
          - src
          - types
          - client

```

Hey @noahw3, sorry for lengthy delay, please see my response on this here: [Relative coverage increase - #2 by noahw3](https://community.codecov.com/t/relative-coverage-increase/353/2)

On this YAML itself, you can be even more explicit and turn patch coverage off as follows:

```
codecov:
  require_ci_to_pass: no
  notify:
    wait_for_ci: no

coverage:
  status:
    project:
      default:
        target: auto
        base: auto
        threshold: 0%
        if_ci_failed: error
        paths:
          - src
          - types
          - client
    patch: off

```
