Frequently asked questions
Does the count include today?
No — the count shows full days remaining. If Ekka is tomorrow, the count shows 1.
What timezone is used?
The day count and live timer are both based on your local date and time.
How are leap years handled?
The date logic uses standard JavaScript Date arithmetic, which correctly accounts for leap years.
