[Fixed] - Eco Workshop Shift Duration Increases

Similar thing happened to me. I'm on Stage 3, Part 2 and the duration of event appeared to be over 7 hours. 

The duration of the shifts at the Workshop reset to 8 hours when I close my game and reopen it. The duration of the shift I started should be 7 hours and it shows correctly as long as I don't close the game app.

All 'event buffs' disappear when I close the game, so now the duration is 8 hours.

This is happening at every Stage. I'm attaching also screenshots a player has sent me. Their Workshop is fully upgraded.

The duration of a shift is 3 hours, as shown on the first screenshot. Later, when the player reopens the game,  it shows that buffs have disapperared, so the event duration is reset to Stage 1.

Good news 🙂 The team is already working on a bug fix for this issue 🙌

Same thing happened here. I am done all workshop upgrade at stage 7 where shift should only lasted 3 hours, I helped and used up all energy to about 2 hours and some time remaining. Then to go back and found out I have 5 hours and 30mins left?!

This is the issue I am having as well. I start the shift and come back hours later and one of two things has happened. Either no time has passed, or the time left is higher than when I began the shift 😐

I just experienced this issue right now (or perhaps, more accurately, just noticed it) for the first time. I’m at Stage 4, Part 6 and have been for about 5 days. Usually I have one of my Sims start a Workshop shift before I go to bed so that it’s complete by the time I wake up. About 15 minutes ago, I started the shift and exited the game. I then reopened the game 10 minutes after that and my day changed in-game. After claiming my rewards, I went back to my Sim in the Workshop shift and noticed that the time left in his shift had increased from ~5 hours and 45 minutes to ~7 hours and 45 minutes. I was very confused and frustrated. I spent real life money on packs to upgrade the shop and if all my Eco shifts have been taking longer than they should, that’s extremely unfair. I was wondering why it seemed like my Sims were taking too long to do Workshop shifts and now I see the reason why.

On the rare occasion that I stay playing the game continuously while a Workshop shift is in progress, and use energy refills and cupcakes to decrease the time, I do not believe the shift time increases. It is only upon exiting the game (i.e.: when I start a shift before going to sleep, exit the game, and come back in the morning) that the shift time increases, as others have mentioned here.
