Vac Mode Bug

The vacation mode setting did not work when I tried to set it at 11.00 hours Friday 26 January Eastern Standard Time Australia (Game Time Thursday 25 January).
The message said:
1. The account had been on PPT within 24 hours when in fact it had been off for more than 26 hours.
2. The message also said that I was trying to set vacation mode on the 26 January when I was not due to come off PPT until 27 January.
Not sure if:
Anyone else has had a similar problem, or
Only affects players time zones ahead of game time, or
If you buy 48 hours PPT, only use part of it (come off 24 hours before you want to set Vac Mode) but the game requires you to complete the full PPT then wait 24 hours.

I have had several players contact me saying they experienced the same problem.
Forum please fix this bug or change the vacation/PPT rule so those of us with Real Life commitments can keep playing.

Last time it was working for me. It was between Christmas and new year when i went on vac mode, and i only left out 24hours between that and ppt.
Are u all aware of, that u cannot go on vacation for 24hrs after attacking someone too?

Did you attack someone in order to come off PPT?

So the bug is still there.

spying someone is an "enemy action" so to say. its the reason why you are removed from ppt. thats probably why you cant do it

I dont know if spying would affect vac mode cos you are not really attacking, ie sabs, raids and attacks yes but a spy maybe no
also if you on ppt, could it be that the system takes a note of the time you go and the time you are due off, regardless if you come off early, the system may only take vac mode after 24hrs of the expected time off
in anyway, I think its a bug cos if your off ppt for 24hrs your off and so vac mode should work
I have not personally done this so I dont know
