I actually prefer the old behavior. Your new one has a "flag time" when you get all your time back, and it's not even something logical like midnight, it is (if I read the patch right), "midnight UTC" that will do it.

So the "you have to be offline for at least 8 hours" thing is actually something that even my old tracker worked with, and at least with my kids, there is no worry that they'd wake up early just to do it both before _and_ after school ;)
