So I've been playing an alt account off and on for about a year now. I use it to test out skills before I waste my Sp on my main. That said I don't play it too much and mostly just build up passive SP on the thing. I have been trying to hit rank 2 so I could trade with it for ages but at about 5 points for login in and 1-5 points on average for a battle it takes a while to get 2k points for rank 1 and 3-4k for rank 2.
A few months ago I noticed my points to next level jumped up about 600 points, setting me back several days of work 'earning' my rank. Three days ago I was at 209 to rank 1. I missed logging in for a day on that account because to be honest it isn't that important to do so any more. Low and behold today I find myself 463 to rank 1. Is this some kind of weird bug, or an actual part of the design?
Every day you fail to login you lose such a huge chunk of your rank? I mean it's already hard enough to lnaturally level up the loyalty rank system. This basically makes it impossible for newer players to get a high enough rank to be able to do player trading imo. I mean if this is truly in place even spending money to raise your rank seems like a bad idea, after all 250+ points is 500 aurum worth of rank a day.

Eh it's more along the lines of 'play dust every day on every character or else'.
Honestly I wouldn't even have an alt account if the multiple character slot system was really worth anything. Given that they don't earn passive SP though it puts them thousands, if not missions of SP behind a character that would. If you actually want to play two completely different play styles your told to grind out an alt that earns even less SP.

Or you can focus on the character you got and just simply skill into new things

I've never cared about rank until CCP decided to make rank 2 a requirement for player trading. The whole system is complete crap. You earn next to nothing for logging in and participating in battle. Add to that you lose points far faster than you gain them makes it a joke, a joke you have to put up with for at least the first two ranks.

I don't believe you.
Most people probably earn less than 20 a day. That means if you don't log in for just one day with this in effect you would undo two weeks of progress.
I think it far more likely that the UI is simply buggy. Which it is, actually.

I'm actually curious to test this. I'm going to make an alt right now and see what happens.
EDIT: Forgot Loyalty Rank is tied to the account when you make a new alt. Going to try something else....
EDIT2: Forgot I had another character already. This character has a very low Loyalty Rank at 0 which I made for Forge Guns (a story for another time there). This character mainly makes Skill Points from passive generation and last time I used him was several months ago, without logging in a single time.
Currently, that character has 677 points to go with the bar filled up 1/4th or 2/3rd of the way. Assuming your findings of a loss of 250 points per day, my character should have a completely zeroed out Loyalty Rank since it had not been logged in for several months and already had a low rank of recruit to start with.
To conclude, I believe it's what Arkena Wyrnspire already said:

Well if it's a bug it's happened to me two separate times that I've noticed, across all 3 characters on the same account even if their LR values are different due to how much I might play them. And it's always 'bugged' towards the negative. I'm not suddenly gaining points I didn't have.

 Don't panic.
Dust is interesting a a few way we are never fully aware of.
One interesting way is that, although they have a "Server" that stores and monitors much of your account progress, that Server does NOT store some things about your TEMPORAL progress. It relies on the internal clock of your PS3 to "relay" monitored time that you've been playing DustGǪ
It asks YOUR console's clock for information that affects your personal Warbarge cooldown period.
It asks your console's clock for info that will have a 11th hour reset affect on what Loyalty Rank they'll give you.
Strangely your console's clock doesn't seem to affect the reported age of your character "GǪCelesta Aungm: 1 year, 4 months, and 22 days"GǪ
So if you are like many players who alter their clocks' time display to manipulate photo sequence, you CAN mess up your warbarge cooldown, OR cause the Loyalty Rank to say "Rank 3" last week, and suddenly catch up and say "Rank 7" next month (when you know you didn't play and use THAT much Aur to produce that miracle, LOL).
Ask CCP to check and confirm what happened. Keep in mind, if what I wrote above applies to your case,GǪ Dust 514 may have simply just gotten around to CORRECTING something that's been wrong with your numbers for quite some time.
Let's be real. All of us are just fantasy-quarterbackers. Only the devs really KNOW the reasons why, what did who, every never, on my last birthday cake module.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

Hmmmm if only there was a salutation, ohh wait perhaps spend -ú5-10 on dust and you'll have your loyalty rank and some aur to buy booster, so you don't need alts

Great, another reason to say to h*ll with it and not play. Punishment rather than reward will never work. Please CCP, alienate your playerbase further.
They could have just as easily NOT given you any NEW points if you didn't log in that day.

You don't lose loyalty points and you never did.
If this was the case, I would have -5 loyalty rank on my test alt. Yet it sticks to LR 2 since LR introduction even tho I log in there once a week.

Not really much to say. I logged in to find my rank down by 250 or so points. It's the second time this had happened to me and I just happened to notice this time that I hadn't logged in for about two days when it happened. So I was curious if this was an intended mechanic or not.
The first time I lost over 600 points, enough to notice the loss but I wasn't absolutely sure how much. Since then I started to keep a score of my to next level points. I was happy because I was almost rank 1, 209 to go. Then I log in the other day and I was back at 458 to go. If you count the 5 earned for login in that day it's over 250 lost.
And no I have never altered my PlayStation clock to try and earn extra points. In fact I haven't touched it in about 8 years since I set it to automatic.
