Daily XP Shutdown Between 01:40–02:10 UTC+1 on Islands

Summary

XP stops awarding across multiple islands every day between approximately 01:40 and 02:10 (UTC+1). During this 30-minute window, all XP reward systems temporarily stop working and resume automatically afterwards.

Steps to Reproduce

Join island 5822-9054-9053 at any time of the day — XP works normally.

Join the island during the time window 01:40 to 02:10 (UTC+1).

All XP rewards (Accolades, multiplayer events, and progression systems) suddenly stop awarding.

After roughly 30 minutes, XP starts working again without any intervention from the creator.

This has been happening every day for more than a week, and multiple creators are experiencing the same issue on different islands.

Expected Result

XP should award normally at all times and should not globally shut off at a specific daily time period.

Observed Result

XP becomes completely disabled only during this specific time window, then automatically returns afterward. This behavior is not due to island logic, calibration, limits, or engagement thresholds.

Additional Notes

Here are some additional details:

The issue happens every single day at the exact same time window (01:40–02:10 UTC+1).

No changes were made to the island during these periods.

Multiple creators are reporting the exact same XP shutdown period across completely different islands.

This strongly suggests a backend/system issue, not an island-specific problem.

XP returns by itself without republishing, recalibrating, or modifying any device.

I have the same problem on my island, I hope it gets fixed because it’s been happening for a week - Island Code: 8363-8237-0040

hi @MIGUELITO_GOL

This developer has seen a similar problem at about the same time

Awarding XP Problem - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums

Hey!
We’re having the same problem, but it’s even worse for us. After 8:10 PM EST (02:10 UTC+1), XP is not restored on our map, and we have to update our map (6586-8735-3733) just to get XP working again.
It’s extremely difficult to manage having to update the map every day just to recalibrate XP.

We’ve also noticed other maps with the same issue where XP is not restored after this time. For example:
Fruits vs Brainrots (4554-4413-1515), XP is still not working; from what we’ve seen, after they update the map, XP comes back.
Barber Tycoon (6980-7830-5270), the developer updated the map about 2 hours ago and XP is working again. Before the update, XP was not working even though the map was set to “Awarding XP”

Getting someone to take a look.

I was asked to pass along this information from some of our engineers and programmers. A number of fixes went out during this downtime and we hope for things to be more stable when we’re back up. You will not need to republish. The team will be monitoring.

Thanks for getting this on our radar!

Thank you @Flak so much for acting so quickly :heart_on_fire: This is extremely important for every dev with the new season approaching. Thanks again!

Answer to @MIGUELITO_GOL from Twitter question:

The island is always calibrating and the underlying issue fixed. If the island should be awarding XP it will continue.

Hey Flak, the issue is fixed but the maps are awarding like minimun xp, maps that have less players are awarding xp like always, but the map with players gives like 5 times less xp, is giving 1xp each “xp award”, i think this might be a bug, could you check it? 8363-8237-0040 and 5822-9054-9053

Thank you, we’ll get someone to take a look.

My island used to grant XP with a specific device, but since the new update it stopped doing so. Everything else works except that. Please check it and sorry for so many complaints.

Hey,

I have noticed that almost all top creative maps are now giving a very small amount of XP, around 10–50 XP per activation. I don’t know if this was intentional, but I wanted to share it to confirm that the problem seems to affect most maps, not just a few.

@MIGUELITO_GOL Thank you for the report, this should no longer be an issue.

@DaaV1996 That should have been fixed with 39.00.

Hello,

I just published an update for my map (code: 4397-8620-1913) and it has been in XP calibration for over 8 hours.
Normally, it only takes about an hour for my island to get calibrated and start granting XP.

Is anyone else experiencing longer calibration times lately?
Not sure if this is a normal delay or if something might be wrong on my end.

Hi, there appears to be a lot of Epic work on XP spread across many posts.

The thread that is most relevant to you is probably the advice given in

XP calibration takes too long - General / Issues and Bug

There are cross-links to other threads, so probably read those as well
