We just time-traveled backwards by an hour, and a few time calculations around the site broke as a result. The timers themselves should be fine, it is just breaking on the "time left" calculation since it is likely trying to subtract a time that's now in the past instead of future (since we time traveled!) And this issue should fix itself, since it is really just the repeated 1:00 AM that's messing it up. I am going to leave this topic open until there is more confirmation that the issue is no longer happening, just in case.

It is not really worth it for us to try and fix the older timer code for this edge case that only happens once a year. In our newer code - which we're working on moving everything over to - we're using more robust datetime code to avoid this issue :)

(Renaming topic for clarity and moving to Site Functionality since this is more of a site-wide thing than holiday-specific. Thank you for the report!!)

Just checking - there's no more issues with timers, right? I think it was only for that one hour?

Since this seems to be resolved I am going to lock this up!
