As far as I can tell, the time bug seems to be fixed in the latest update.
I regularly keep a record of all my upgrade times. In the past, the upgrades would finish late by like half-an-hour or more. However, the upgrades I started in the past few days are all finishing on time.
I have not looked at other things like hero recovery time, but I'd bet that's also fixed. I encourage others to do their own checking to see if I've got it wrong.
Seriously ? Didn't pay attention to that, but now you say it, it's true I didn't have to gem the end of my updates before going to sleep recently... Was thinking it was linked to change from summer to winter time so all my upgrades were virtually finishing 1hour sooner, but might be linked to that as well !!
Very Good news, really was one of the most annoying bug in CoC according to me.
Did they seriously fix this bug without even an announcement?
Hmmmm. OR it could be as simple as the time pauses for matinace breaksQuote:

Didn't the official thread on this end with SC confirming that they would not fix it.
There was something to do with the need to rewrite the game using a different language.
Yeah SuperSteve did mention something about changing the "code" in order to resolve the time bug. I just find it strange that the very same code (language) allows shield and boost times to be 100% accurate, but your precious builders? Nah, completely different language ;)Quote:

Sounds like the problem isn't fixed for troop build time.
I guess people should just write down the time when they start an upgrade from now on and revisit this thread later. :)
There is no point in fighting a losing battle. Sure I could write down the time and come back here, but this thread will be down on page 20 already, closed.Quote:

TH9 upgrade takes 10 days. That means it started before the latest update came. The upgrades I started before that are still finishing somewhat late too. The upgrades I started after are the ones finishing on time.Quote:

Here in France we switch from summer time to winter time, everything was an hour faster
What I use is an Android app called "project schedule" to keep track of all my upgrade times for multiple accounts. I'm sure there are similar things on ios to help if pen and paper don't work for you. By all means actually check your upgrade times from now on and report your findings.
Update: all the upgrades I see are still finishing on time without exception.

IF BY CHANCE it were somehow magically able to get fixed, I'm pretty sure it would take quite the maintenance break to change the entire coding language for this game. In addition, no way would SC fix something like this, and not announce it.
also, this thread just might get closed.
EDIT : OMGGG I JUST TESTED IT OUT! AND THE TIME WAS WHERE IT SHOULD BE! I THINK ITS BEEN FIXED
So my lab upgrade didn't get time added to it after I refreshed coc and went back into the app...same with my barb king regen time. Is the bug fixed for you?
As far as I know, SuperSteve said that:-

Despite showing great perseverance when moaning about loot, simple fact checking like marking down the exact time you start an upgrade and confirming whether it finishes at the correct time days later is apparently beyond a lot of people here. Instead of always referring back to some preconceived ideas about the bug being fixed or not, how about just checking for real?
I track upgrade times for 3 accounts (one TH7 & two TH8) and all upgrades that started after the Halloween update finished at the correct time so far. That's all the upgrades in the last couple of weeks with 12 builders and 3 labs in total constantly working for TH7 & TH8.
This thread looks like the happiest news ever! :D
The bug unknowingly appeared and unknowingly disappeared after years!
SC would have told us if they had fixed the bug. This looks like it happened by luck.
I'll check for myself tomorrow when one of my upgrade started after update will be about to finish.
I regularly upgrade my heroes after war. Eventually the time bug prevents me from doing it weekly cause it would take over 7 days for upgrade to complete. Last 2 weeks instead of taking 7 days I actually gained a few hours. So did they silently fix this issue?
The only time bug I saw that was fixed was in-lab upgrades.
as as have I :) seems I'm not the only oneQuote:

Gonna check it at my next upgrade..
Ok, all this is pretty weird. I started playing CoC this year and got pretty hooked up with the game, but it was not until I recently made an account in the forums that I found out of the existence of this bug (today).
I desperately ran to my iPad and trained a Dragon while I started a 30 min timer on my cellphone, only to sadly check that the bug is true. Troop training gets time added when you log in, around 5 secs, still to this date.
Then, while rambling on the internet, I found this thread, and people here saying it's fixed and I was like :confused: man, I just checked it. So I got into the game and decided to check with another in-game clock, a lab upgrade. Waited to the :00 whole minute mark, and started my timer. To my surprise, it looked like I've actually fast forwarded 7-8 seconds the upgrade!! You can imagine how confused I was. I logged in again and again and then the clock would go hand in hand with the lab's one. So my guess (COMPLETE SPECULATION HERE) is that they tried to "fix" it in lab upgrades (or buildings, as some stated here) by subtracting the glitched seconds from the actual timer, in a kind of ad hoc and "inelegant" way, to get myself clear. And they just left the army production as it was, being it that the time lapses are so small in the barracks that the glitch doesn't really add up that much (hell I wouldn't even care about it if I'm guaranteed that my builders will be on time!!)
The only real conclusion is that, although Supercell Staff has recognized the existence of this glitch, they haven't given any technical explanation on why this is like it is. It would be really nice to at least know how the glitch behaves from an official source, because all of the info I've found about it comes from user-made experiments and speculation. This would give us players the chance to try and minimize the impact the glitch has on our gaming experience and it's hindering of our progress by modifying our gaming habits. I, for example, constantly visited other people's village's because I love base designing and I like to see what is crossing in other people's mind when it comes to layouts, but if I'm getting set back 5 secs each time I do it, I'll reconsider it. (If anyone has a link to an official announcement about this, I'm sorry about posting this, but I haven't found any official info about it aside from "We won't fix it" posts)
