Possible Bug Report: 24h Timer Not Resetting When Flying Before 84h Countdown Expires

POSTING HERE so others can mention if they have seen something strange on their end as well:

I’ve been noticing a recurring issue with pilot licenses when you fly before the 84-hour timer has fully expired, and I think I’ve finally figured out what’s causing it.

What happened:

On this license (screenshot attached), I flew the last 2h30m yesterday while the 84-hour countdown was still running. After my flight, both available timers showed 00:00 (earn pax) - which is correct and the 84-countdown was still running, close to 0.

However, when the 84-hour countdown finally hit zero, only the 84-hour timer reset. The 24-hour timer did not reset, leaving me unable to fly that initial 2h30m.

Root cause (as best I can tell):

This seems to happen specifically when you fly on a license 24 hours just before the 84 hour expires. It’s worth noting that the timer never expired during a flight.

Expected behavior (from my understanding):

Both the 24h and 84h timers should reset when the 84-hour countdown expires. In my case, this license should be showing 2h30m available in the 24-hour slot, but it’s stuck at 00:00.

Has anyone else run into this? Would appreciate if @Karim-CTO-SimFly could look into it!

Or do I misunderstand this and we should NEVER fly the last 24hours (prior to the 84hrs)?

**EDIT:** I tried doing a flight, to see if I would get the 2h30, but got 0pax.. however the timer for 84 hours started!!

There is 2 different timers, and on my side it seems right that they do not reset together, so somehow no reason that the the 84h timer would reset the 24h.

Hi Beno, thanks for the reply! Yeah, that’s what I was wondering, if I could have misunderstood it the whole time. Or maybe there’s a 3rd example not mentioned by the Wiki. Because the Wiki clearly states:

“Since the 84-hour timer has now expired, the 24-hour timer is also fully recharged at the same time. During this overlap, both timers will display the same countdown, making the system easier to understand visually.”
