unhappy about expired batch

I know the answer to this, I think. Today at 0940GMT, on the day my recent batch was to expire, it had already gone, prematurely as far as I am concerned. I don't have the batch number, and I hastily and unwisely deleted the message which told me about the expiry. The batch is irretrievable. I regard this as work stolen from me. I had done 32 of the 39 records. I am a volunteer. No contract exists between me and FS, and I take the experience as a sign to leave. I am just letting the community know.

    Batches expire at midnight GMT on the due date.

    Could you clarify this? Midnight is precisely between two days, so it's not clear to everyone which day you are talking about. I assume you mean "midnight GMT on the morning of the due date."

    Midnight GMT, when the calendar flips from Nov. 22 to Nov. 23.
