Alchemy Writ Bug

Due to Alchemy daily writs not stacking like all the others (which may be a bug or it may be a feature, who knows), I typically do them every day. That's how I found this bug. This bug occurred on PC/NA about a week or two ago on one of my alts. I haven't tried to replicate the bug since.
Toward the end of one of the daily resets the alchemy daily was repeatable in the same day without cooldown. I triple checked to be sure it wasn't a new day as I was able to complete 3 alchemy daily writs on the same character within the 1 day reset (I had obtained the 3rd or 4th daily writ on the new day).
I am unsure of how long this infinite refresh timer is, but it's definitely less than 5 minutes since the characters I was getting writs on did not have this issue.
I am unsure if this bug is still in effect but it's something worth looking into. It's not gamebreaking and the impact on the economy is minimal if there even is an impact.

✭✭Isn't this the 'feature' the put into the code because dressing room allowed players to infinitely acquire alchemy writs?The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.0 -

The game itself formerly allowed people to get one alchemy writ per tier per day, at the cost of respeccing to remove the points to start the cycle over again the next day. It was in the game for years but would have been a wash financially at best until the Armory system made it free to reset the skill points back to tier 1. That was particularly ripe for abuse during events that give reward boxes for doing daily writs, like the Anniversary event. You didn’t need to have Dressing Room or be on PC/Mac to double the writs you could do per day that way.Edited by virtus753 on December 2, 2022 9:20PM0 -

✭✭Part of the original comment in this bug has been addressed, which was a major point of concern for me.
Alchemy writs can now be stacked and done consecutively if you have a writ from the day before, whereas at the time of posting this bug report that wasn't possible.
There have been no official announcements about this but it's cool to see that it was fixed.
I have not tested to see if the infinitely repeatable writ bug is still in effect, but it would be nice to see an update addressing this.0
