    Were they gluten free snacks and drinks?

    Usually, they don't tick down while you're offline.

    Make sure it was the same character ... cause food/drink doesn't wear off when you log out.

    If you're absolutely certain, report it as a bug.

    I suspect either a late party you don't know about or sleep walking

    The game doesn't always shut down properly and the process is still running even though nothing is showing on your screen. Oddly enough sometimes when this happens you don't get removed from the server for afk. I've noticed 2 hours later the eso process was still running in task manager after seeing in Discord it was still showing me playing the game.

    -edit to add- I suspect it's times like this your food/drink will still be used.

    I've been noticing it on my characters as well... the food/drink timer is clicking down when you are offline.
    Far too many characters to list any more.

    Test, and make sure you are logging out of character, then game. Just quitting sometimes allows foods to keep ticking.

    Is this a recent change? Then again maybe they do something with our accounts?

    Sometimes you stay logged in on the server and it doesn't shut down properly. If you're in a group and don't leave the group before you log off, this can happen, too.

    Yep, correct. Also, food is cheap.

    I've noticed this too. I never force quit my game (I let the log out timer run down) and I haven't had the issue of the game process running after the game is closed, yet a character that had 20-30 minutes left on food is out when I log back in.

    Dubious Camoran Thrones and Double Bloody Maras are kinda a pain, but otherwise, yeah.
