  Today should have been day 21 for me but somehow the counter has reset to after my play today.   :(

  Time changed to daylight savings time Sunday morning. the CDP timer does not change so now it resets an hour earlier. I would guess many people lost their CDP bonus because they didn't know that.

  I believe that there is some correlation to the DST event.

  I'll just start a new CDP streak   :) ...

  Thanks for the reply ..

  I agree that those DST changes bear the risk to lose the CDP bonus.

  borntobesting:

  Pardon me, I think not.

  The local clocks were advanced by one hour, so (as an example) 4 pm EST became 5 pm EDT, correlating to midnight GMT.

  Thus, 'mericans have an hour more to play on the old day.

  Those playing on the new day (after 4 pm EDT) will play on the same day twice and gain their CDP a day later. They only must not fail to finish this game until 5 pm.

  In case of doubt, the CDP clock in the game menu will show the truth ;)

  Exactly ...

  • A green check mark indicates you have already received the daily bonus.
  • A red exclamation mark indicates you have not received the daily bonus.
  • The Next Day In is Your countdown timer to when your day starts.

   

  

   

  So I can play for six hours and ten minutes straight, as long as my game ends in that time, I will not receive another daily bonus.
