Unfortunately I don’t have any screenshots as I didn’t realize this was wrong in the first place but before the content update today the WoW pt 1 objectives and quest were showing they were going to expire tomorrow and as a result I decided to wait until today to finish it. When I logged on today, the objectives had been replaced by pt 2 objectives but the quest still showed that it would expire tomorrow. Once I finished the fight though it disappeared. Since the objective was gone I did not receive any pts. Did this happen to anyone else?

On one hand, yes, every monthly quest (and daily Cat, etc) are like that, where if you are currently inside an active quest path, you get an extra day in order to finish the rest of that path. (daily quests are not 24 hrs extra, but some shorter # of hrs, but still…)
So being able to finish off the Boss, but NOT being able to still have the Objective available to claim does seem like poor interaction.
However, on the other side, if a potential solution is that they extend the timer for the Objective as well (which would probably be a good idea, similar to how monthly special shard crystals have extra time to convert shards into crystals before the shards disappear). That might actually confuse many people into thinking they can first START their run in that quest on that 1-day extension time, which is NOT TRUE.
You can’t *start* a new run on that extra day, you can only *finish* an existing run.
I have to work to pay for in game purchases. I plan my play time accordingly. If there was an issue with the timer, we should've been notified.
The fact that such important content just disappeared without notice puts me and other players at a disadvantage.
Every few months in rotation new SQ comes with week-1,2,3,4 type of fights and guess what every fight stays around and does not expire.
