Hello.

A is a student at a private online school; B is a teacher there.

A: I need to reschedule next week's lessons.
B: You've rescheduled quite a few lessons recently. When you were discussing your schedule with a manager, you agreed to have your lesson on certain days. Your current schedule doesn't even remotely resemble the one you agreed to. I'm afraid it will not work for me.
A: Okay, I get you. I'll contact a manager.
B: Well, I didn't get you, but it's okay.

Source: my dialogue.

I'd like to use "didn't get you" to finish this dialogue and, sort of, leave it behind. I didn't get your actions, but I want to move on. Is it correct to use "I didn't get you" in this dialogue?

Thank you.
 
It's meaningless as written.

The set phrase I think you're trying to refer to is "I don't get you', meaning I don't understand you or your actions. It's a set phrase, and before you ask, no, you can't go changing the tense. It's a set phrase.
 
Any other opinions?

Don't worry. I was not going to ask.
