The metrics are on the test data. So I'm getting user features on the training data, and my test data is the same users on the next day.

Nope used the same one. Created the vectors on the users in the training the data, and then reused them for the test data.

Since I'm predicting the future behavior of the same users, this isn't a problem right?
I'm essentially using past user behavior via value, to predict future (same) user behavior with different content categories.
