I had started variant after hesitating about it for months and ofcourse there's an emergency maintenance amidst my completion
You won't lose progress, but if you used any boosts the timers won't stop ticking away. You should be fine.
Game is down again. I'll be waiting for the compensation.
Incursions aren't like dungeons. There are no room timers anymore. When you can get back into the game your incursion will be exactly where you left it. Not sure what happens if you roll over the 5 day reset timer, but your progress is there until you end the run yourself.
I guess I will see what happens and contact support as needed. Hope I get compensation. Doesn't seem right if I get kicked.
