Creative server timer issues

Summary

Private creative servers are shutting down way too early, often sooner than the in-game warning of pending shutdown - twice this weekend at about 2h and 3h marks.

Play in a private server for several hours

Expected Result

Server shpuld remain open while active

Observed Result

Two primary issues:

  1. Server is shutting down too soon. Private servers used to stay open for about 4 hours.. recently sometimes servers stay open for extended duration, up to 8-10+ hours, which is awesome for survival type modes where progression is saved long-term. However, sometimes they also close very early - this weekend I had one instance where the server shut down at about 2:10, the other it shut down at 3:05 - both were private games where i was active thr whole time.
  2. Server shutdown notice is not accurate or timely. Yesterday I got notices of 49 minutes and then 41 minutes until server shutdown, then the server shut down 2 min later, with about 39 minutes to go on the timer, at about 2:10. Today i got notices at 39, 34, and 31 minutes until shutdown. No further notices were given, server shut down 36 min later at about 3:05. Timers should be accurate, and also warn closer to shutdown time.

I dont know about the time lengths on private games, but server shutdown times have never been accurate.
