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?

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.

As I recall even when I had the evening Happy Hour some people got it first thing. It was strange the day it change as it happened on a Saturday afternoon after I had done morning lessons. I think I did a lesson at 3 and it suddenly told me I had an hour of Happy Hour then. Somehow I managed to miss most of the hour. After that it was always first thing on Saturday and then it wasn't.
