Daily Puzzle Streak - timezones

I lost my daily puzzle streak on Boxing day.

Did I forget to logon, no. The problem was I was logged in the morning, and the daily puzzle streak is updated on the US time zone. Duolingo, Chessable, all the other sites I login to daily, run midnight to midnight, in your local time zone.

Not the daily puzzle on Chess.com, here I am, in the UK. It is currently 7:55am, and as usual no daily puzzle. It says "Come back tomorrow".

So unlike all of the other sites, I cannot do the daily puzzle in the morning. And as that is the time of day when I have time, keeping a streak alive is difficult. Anyone else have this problem?

I sympathize with you, but we all deal with time zones, updates, and switch-overs for wherever we are in the world. It seems that if you login and play the same time every day, then you should always meet the deadline... as long as you do it withing the same 24-hours.

Pretty sure the Daily Puzzle streak has a grace period so even if you miss a day, it should still count. It doesn't publish in 12 an US Pacific time, most of the time.
