I'll do my best to explain the reasoning why it is that way, but if it's unclear, feel free to get back to me. AC has always been only accepting activity done in that month only (so February AC will accept any posts, logs, threads, or comments that take place in February).
If we allowed things from March 1-7 as well, it would mean that they would then have to be disallowed for March AC, or else someone could use the same piece of AC to pass both February and March AC. In addition, the AC is specifically checking February activity, and players should therefore have enough AC from February without needing to spill into March - obviously down months happen for everyone, but that's why we allow hiatuses for half exemption or full exemption.
But basically you can use anything from the month in question being checked!
