November Scavenger Hunt

DomoSapien: I intentionally made the codes longer when generating them for this
month. I poked the content team about getting the timestamps on the
article, but it's correct here on my forum post: Each code is
active for almost 3 days this time around, expiring at 18:00
Central 2 days after their drop date.
Generating bonus codes is not an instantaneous process. There is no way to time the codes so that they are generated with each Contributor's planned drop time to guarantee you a full 48 hour redemption window, which is why the redemption window is over 2 days long. Copy + pasting a bonus code shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes, so quite frankly regardless of whether a contributor releases their code in the morning or the evening, you have more than enough time to locate the code and activate it. In fact, most of the people reposting the codes end up generating them via auto-redeem links so you literally just have to click a link to redeem the code.
At its core the Scavenger Hunt event is intended to drive traffic to contributor channels - with this goal in mind, offering a fairly substantial window of time after the fact for you to redeem the codes regardless of whether you actually tune into each contributor's channel on their drop date is a pretty reasonable compromise.
Additionally we kept the 31-day format because the missions have been working properly and we don't want to break something for the last Scavenger Hunt of the year - as is customary, and I mentioned in my OP here, all players will be receiving 3 extra tokens around November 20th, to make up for the discrepancy. I also might have a few extra codes up my sleeve in case we run into any issues as the month goes on.
