    Hi ret2rom,

     

    Thank you for your patience. The engineer confirmed for me that our graphs account for DST. He also checked in logs from June 9 and did not find anything that would have caused that anomaly you experienced that morning. I've sent you a complimentary token for the inconvenience so you may receive an e-mailed order confirmation for the free token. Please don't hesitate to drop by again if you have additional concerns.

As to why it seems the usage may have came out of your Anytime data is beyond me.

It seems that daylight savings doesn't apply either because my status meter is still blue (bonus time) until only 7 AM PDT not 8 AM.  After 7 AM itturns to green which seems to indicate being on anytime data.

    It takes DST into account...  Do you happen to live anywhere near where the timezones change?
