Shield time cutting into cooldown?
My husband has experienced the timer resetting in the middle of cooldown several times today, and we've worked out a theory. It seems that being attacked and getting a shield is taking chunks of time off of the 24 hr cooldown for the daily bonus and may be in some way related to the village guard bug/patch. He just got his 5th star a few hours ago, at which time 24 hours was displayed. He recently was attacked for a 16-hour shield, and now the star bonus displays 9 hours and 9 minutes. While it doesn't exactly add up, we're currently testing this theory further and any additional data would be welcome if you notice a similar circumstance.
Edit: Nevermind, just confirmed that getting a new shield had no effect. But the resetting still appears to be related to defending, as nothing else occurred that could explain the shortened duration. Any ideas?
