Did my mojo side quest just end a few hours too early?

I noticed, it was about 11.30 Amsterdam time, that when i finished a path on Mojo sidequest, i got my rewards but the event dissapeared. But, the event should last until UTC 00.00 and that is Amsterdam time +1, so i should have had at least 1,5 hour extra to finish my last paths of threat level 5.
Is this a bug, or am i wrong with my calculation? I missed out on some great rewards i wanted to finish at the end of the day.

But to clarify, Monthly Events and Side quests are NOT tied to 0:00 UTC time.
They begin/end around midday in the U.S. (depending which east/west timezone here), but that is several hours PRIOR to Midnight UTC.
As to seeing a different timer (1 day further out) while inside an active quest, versus NOT in a quest (continue reading below).

This is typical for most Side Quests.
(the ones that last the entire month, and NOT like the Labs or Rifts which change every day and indeed those types have a HARD cutoff time)
If you are currently inside an active Side Quest, it shows a timer for which you have to complete the quest (such as in cases you ran out of energy before, and need to wait for more energy, even if that goes past the normal monthly-end time).
It will give you an extra day to finish an active quest.
*note, similar, but with a different “grace period” to some of the Daily Cat quests, etc, which allow you some extra time into the next “day” to finish one.
BUT, the overall ending date/time is still there, and gets shown when you are NOT actively inside one of those side quests.
So, you were finishing up your active quest with “grace time”, but it wouldn’t let you run any additional quests once you finish the current one.
If ever in doubt as to the time, while you’re inside one, side quests are normally tied to the normal monthly EQ quests. So you can check that other timer.
