About instance reset time
complete
りせる。
Currently, instances are reset about 8 hours after world instances are created.
This is very inconvenient as world gimmicks, etc. are reset prematurely.
Is it possible to make it so that they are retained for at least 24 hours?
Also, it says that when the server is updated, it resets after 8 hours, but I would like to be notified that it resets when I join a world or when I create an instance.

Yeah, I can agree on something here, Bus To Nowhere takes a bit longer than a week to get the 100k miles. I had tried to get there but had only managed 73,000 miles so was nowhere near 100,000 after 7 days. Got reset on Christmas so was a bit discouraging

Instances have a maximum age of 7 days. Last year additional functionality was added to reset existing instances earlier than this after updates to the realtime networking servers went out, the minimum time in which of is effectively 8 hours in the worst case scenario where the instance is opened right before the update. So far both systems time limits have not changed since they was introduced.
Earlier this week a deploy was performed where the latest version was set to have this reduced reset time, this a precautionary measure (sometimes things only go wrong when rolled out at scale), after a short time it was meant to be returned to normal however was not. At time of writing it has now been returned to normal and means instances should stick around for their appropriate lifespan.

Still seems to happen, got this post from another Member.

I have had three separate newly opened instances reset due to age this week. One was opened at 6PM ET last night (after you wrote this) and it received a notification about resetting at 1:35AM, so it appears there may be something still not working as intended.

Pwotato & Slone Fallion: As mentioned in my post after updates to the realtime networking servers old instances are set to reset after a reduced time, after my post yesterday some updates went out, the times you both mention line up with when that would occur

Instance Reset Timer is too short

Recently I'm sure that a lot of people have been seeing instances resetting much more frequently, Due to the 8ish hour reset timer many game worlds such as Ton, Bus To Nowhere, and others, as well as events are being affected and as such the timer most likely needs to be extended

Not to mention this could hinder big events like Furality with their club worlds and more

It’s honestly stupid to have the time limit be brought down to only 8 hours, if you’re gonna lower it then at least make the limit 16 or 24

uh i was told to agree, so i do... idk

Since the implimentation of instances time limit, things been way more difficult to accomplish in certain worlds since January 2024 and has been awful ever since. Just remove that feature, this is not necessary at all.

Some adventure/exploring worlds require more then 8 hours to complete also it destroy's the idle worlds purpose. Give the Instances atleast 2~3 days before resetting atleast.
