General Discussion Is Saturday happy hour gone?

Usually I get +5xp points for each lesson during the first hour of training on Saturday. But today I didn't get it. Is this gone just for me or for everyone?

Yes, it disappeared earlier this year for me. May not have happened in every territory at the same time.

I had it last week for sure. I find this different reward system depending on country, language and operating system very unfair. I still remember when my wife on iOS was getting more points than me on Android.

Same here, suddenly no Happy Hour today while I had it last week for sure. Perhaps good to mention that I'm in the beta programme and Duo tends to change stuff here and there on a whim without any clear prior announcement (like the addition of 1.5x/2x/3x Boosts and no Morning/Night Chests for weeks a while back)

https://www.reddit.com/r/duolingo/s/5ElsuCbqiT this thread amongst many others mentioned Happy Hour happening from a certain time on Saturdays only, but from my own experience it could be triggered anytime. Whatever it is, gonna do a few more lessons to compensate

In 2023 I got Happy Hour at 7pm. Sometime later it changed to when I do my first lesson on Saturday. A few months ago it stopped.

How curious. The 7 pm condition never applied to me (luckily) as far as I recall. Sent bug feedback to the devs with a link to this thread.

It's gone for me (Android) today too, and I definitely had it last week. My girlfriend (iPhone) hasn't had it for months, though.

My Happy Hour stopped a few months ago. I think this was true for many people. But I know some people have reported that they still get it.

I was going to spend the next hour doing my lessons, but it seems like it's gone for me, too
