What Happened to day 180

Yesterday I had 1 day left on my ESO+ Account, today I got billed and it went straight to 179 days left on my Account.

What Happened to day 180?

I know its nit picky, but a day is a day.

    Hey there, @Casdha. The reason you're seeing 179 is because technically as soon as the clock starts ticking, you have under 180 full days. So if you technically have 179 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, the system won't display 180 full days, it will instead display 179 days.

    @ZOS_TristanK With your explanation then there should have been a day zero since it would have been counting the last 23 hours and 59 minutes.

    I appreciate your taking time to read it anyways.

    @Casdha You are actually very correct, and technically @ZOS_TristanK the way that is stated, could actually be called as false advertising. If it is being advertised that you are getting 180 days when in reality you are missing day 180 and/or day 0, you are not getting what you are paying for. But this is just like Casdha said... very nit picky :tongue:
    Stop right there criminal scum!

    the day zero just appears as day 1 because otherwise you would need a mechanic to count hours as to not confuse people...and there isnt one im assuming.

    It counts in seconds, meaning 3600*24*180, when your seconds were over, it reset to said amount and started to decrement. Technically you weren't on time to see the number 180.

    It should appear as 1 day for technically two days. As soon as you go under 2 days it will say 1 day, because it's 1 day and X hours. And on day 0 it will still say 1 day because the hours can't be displayed apparently. And someone figured displaying 1 day would be better than 0 days.

    @Glierhuin You would be correct except for the fact that the "1 day" is only displayed for one day... by what you said it would have to be displayed for 2 full days which it is not. everyone is missing a day... day 0.
    Stop right there criminal scum!

    ask a banker, they are masters of manipulating the calander exp after 5pm. i would suggest buying the renewal at 12:01AM to take advantage of your day "0"

    Automatic payments,,, So done,,,, Didn't work. ;)

    Edit: I got billed at the end of day one at midnight. It went straight to day 179, hence the OP.
    If you want 180 days there are two ways to count in the computer world. 1-180 or 0-179 because the first number takes up a position in the count totaling 180 counts.

    Nope. It's more a logic thing.

    On your last day you've got 0 days left, but also 23 hours and 59 minutes.

    Our ZOS_Boy did actually explain this.

    For those that don't understand what I'm saying, you tell me which way is right by your thinking



    2d:00h:00m:01s = 11:59pm 2 days and 1 second left
    v
    1d:23h:59m:59s = 12:00am 1 second less than 2 days left


    This way ( how It should be done):
    1d:00h:00m:01s = 11:59pm 1 day 1 second left
    v
    0d:23h:59m:59s = 12:00am 1 second less than 1 day left
    v
    0d:00h:00m:01s = 11:59pm 180 days and 1 second left
    v
    179:23h:59m:59s = 12:00am 1 second less than 180 days left


    Or this way (which is the way they did it):
    1d:00h:00m:01s = 11:59pm 1 day 1 second left
    v
    179d:23h:59s = 12:00am 1 second less than 180 days left


    I wish someone would let me count this way at 50 cents a sub every 30, 90, or 180 days. I'd get a nice bonus on sub renewal day ;)
