It seems that ZOS does not even give you a full 30 days paid time. They give you 29 days. Each month it gets shortened. Everyone should check their billing history.

    Day 1 shows as 29 days remaining because it's not 30 days. It's 29 days and a variable number of hours.
    Day 30 then shows as <1 days remaining because it's fewer than 24 hours.

    This has confused me both times I've had a sub. I check on what should be the last day and see <1 days remaining and start thinking maybe it's bugged or something.

    If I get one again maybe I'll remember to write down the exact time I get it, so I know when it's due to run out.

    (Alternatively it would be helpful if they could tell you the time down to the hour/minute, since apparently they are keeping track of it to that level of detail.)

    I just bought the 30 days 10 sec ago, this is what it said. ZOS is short changing us. This could be huge due to all the past months, and all the players getting screwed. This needs to be investigated ASAP.

    Dude, relax, they are not shortchanging you, @Acrolas is correct, go back to the account home page fast enough after you pay for it and it will indeed say a full 30days, refresh it again or wait a few seconds until you go to the page and it will say 29 days, cause its 29 days 23hs ~59min or something like that. It only shows the days listed. If you want you can try this by looking at the game on the last day, it will say you have 0 days but it will take a full 24hs until you have to pay.

    30 days minus the 10 seconds is 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 50 seconds. Please stop skipping math classes, seriously.^^

    Perhaps it should at least show 29 days + a clock of some sort so it can be easily seen.

    They should not count maintenance and server down time in the 30 days, imo. You should get 24hx30 days of playable time.

    It's fairly common sense, especially when you see your renewal dates at the end of each cycle. A company like ZOS, no matter how questionably they run their game, wouldn't just get away with shilling people like that out of the blue, years into the services lifetime.

    It's really simple - the display of time left on your sub is rounded down. 30 days minus 10 seconds is rounded down to 29 days - even though it's 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 50 seconds.

    It's the same if you list stuff on a guild store in game, the display on time left until expiry flicks over within seconds of you listing the item and rounds it down.

    You have to reminder what time zone you are in if you are on EU server you are 6 hours in front of where ZoS HQ is which I guess would be the place the bill you from.

    Same would go if you are in any part of USA beside on EST time zone.

    It's a 30 day sub, not a monthly sub. That's why it seems to slowly change, some months have 31 days.

    I signed up on the 3rd but i get charged every month on the 25th and the reason why is because eso charges you on the day you made your xbox account / steam account / psn account
