Time Settings?
It says my Arena Payout is 9AM currently, but it’s really 10AM.

Daylight Saving started or ended today, I never really am sure which. The game's clock never changes, though, because some areas don't do Daylight Saving and some areas only adjust a half hour. Then you get weirdness like how all of China is one time zone. So it's just easier to have one constant clock and allow two changes per year.
We used to be on the same schedule here in California, but a couple years back they moved the end date up into November. So some states still change in October, I think.
Hell, you want to see Maximum Chaos, look at the state of Indiana where some COUNTIES don't do it and the others do....
I don't know. I like Daylight Saving since it shifts the active part of my day to when the sun is out, so I walk more and leave the lights off in the house because I don't need them. Saves me gas and cuts on my electric bill. The first week is a little obnoxious because my body has to get used to waking up at what the clock says is 6:00am but it thinks is still 5:00am, but it gets sorted out quickly. Besides, I get a healthy amount of sleep, so it's no big deal. I think it's a bigger deal for the folks who try to get by on only 6 hours a night.
But at the end of the day do whatever makes you happy. My gas and electric savings are negligible compared to what we need to save on a planetary level, so I get the warm fuzzies about doing my part without the smug satisfaction of thinking I'm making a difference 😝 And, yes, I'm only typing all of this because it's 7:16 and my body is still wired because of the time change!
I don't care that I need to make a change to get to the payout time I want, I just wish the game would reflect what the local time of my device is.
Not 100% sure, but the clock starts from the time you make the first change and you have 365 before it resets at which point it will go back to 2 regardless of whether you have used 1 or 2 of your changes.
DISCLAIMER: Post is subject to change.
This is what confuses me. I wanted to change my reset time, but it was giving me a payout time that was not the same as it used to be.
I think "Easier" would be to allow several changes a year for when someone screws up the change they allow after the DLS switch.
This limit of two is LAME.
And I did mine correctly, but I know some that didn't so now they are worse off than ever.
I wish we'd just go on DLS & stay there.
I hate waking up to light pouring in the windows at 330am in the summer.
I'd like to kick back all the clocks so the sun isn't up before 5AM, lol.
It looks like it takes the better part of day for the game to catch up. It seems to have just changed to reflect the right local time.
Yes
Hmm. I'm not sure. I did mine at 7:30 (game time) and set it back to 6:00hoping I'd get double payouts (you laugh, but it happened last year--looks like they fixed that!). I just checked my settings and it's still correct.
If it helps, the dropdown menu that you select from is when your day starts. That's probably not what's tripping you up, though, it's pretty obvious.
Give it a day, see what happens in the morning. A lot of ui things fix themselves when you reload after a few hours.
