Expiration Time for batch due date
Does anyone know what time the batches expire on their due date and what time zone they're going by. I've had batches expire well before midnight on their due date. I'm in the US Eastern Time time zone. I would have thought they'd expire at midnight either in my own time zone or Mountain (Utah) Time, but that's obviously not the case.

It depends on your location and its GMT setting. Hawaii is GMT-10, which means our batches expire at 2:00 pm (10 hours before GMT midnight). Check greenwichmeantime.com for Utah's GMT setting: https://greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/utah/time/

The batches expire at midnight UTC (GMT) on the given date.
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is 4 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). EDT = UTC - 4.
So Batches Due, for example, on April 6, 2022, are due at 12:00 AM UTC on April 6, 2022, = 12:00 - 4:00 = 8:00 PM on April 5, 2022. This is the night before the given date in your current time zone (EDT). If it were Eastern Standard Time, the batch would expire at 7:00 PM (7=12-5).
So a batch advertised as expiring on April 2, 2022 (tomorrow) actually expires tonight at 8:00 PM (April 1, 2022) in your time zone.
I wish they would do the conversion and post the due date in local time. How hard would that be?

Once you've started a batch and it shows up on the My indexing page - snip below- you have 4-7 days in which to index/review and it clearly shows the due date
