I have a negative number for how many more cookies I need for next prestige level.

BKB10

I was on cookie clicker then I got a crazy cookie thing where dozens (and probably hundreds) of golden cookies started coming up (I don't know what the thing is called). I clicked on a lot of them but there were eventually so many that google chrome crashed and I had to end the task in the task manager. When I came back the cookies were not coming anymore. I noticed that the progress bar on the legacy thing was not going up anymore and it was at the end. I had 20,267,989,853,452,090 prestige levels and it says that i need -48.526 quattuordecillion more cookies to reach the next level. Is there any way to fix this?

I, too, would like to know what causes this glitch.

Yeah.. if you get them so quickly it turns that way

What you got is called a Cookie Storm, and it can simply overload your browser (Chrome seems to be especially vulnerable) and bugger the save file the game keeps. (That's one of the reasons you want to save your progress as a file on your computer every once in a while.)
