***** main point I just noticed, see end of ramble ***********
Be aware that if you haven't applied boosts and other rewards they 
[-may-] elapse once an account is frozen.

  Oh cool, the account page now shows the time zone expiry , it updates 
after showing the US time first if you are looking at it.
( for me on oceanic/us).

  That always had me confused , well , in a grey area, so I usually shut 
down ah , mails and parked a day before. I am sure it didn't before, at 
least years back.
Is it their time or mine, the date different, the time difference, is 
that daylight time there or here?

This time it was 'no way did I renew at 3am' but there was some free 
time added so maybe that put it off in some way.
But sure enough it expired on the dot of the local time indicated.

Now all it needs is a [calculated user local time] [ACDST] or something 
to say it really is local updated. Or just do a refresh and see what 
happens. Like expecting a call and calculating their offset when they 
have already done that. 7 , or maybe, 8, or maybe 6 hours forward, but 
yesterday. DST adjustments.

(blue post - about RAF but -probably- applies to other boosts)
"I really cannot stress enough that it is a good idea to not wait until 
the last minute to grant levels, etc...

If you are unable to access the game for any reason and the link 
expires, those will be lost and we'll be unable to recover them or 
extend the linked period."
