Etsy sellers report they are unable to create one day sales events.

suddenly unable to host 1 day sale (BUG)
BUG REPORT: I have always selected the same calendar date for a sale’s beginning and end (resulting in a 24-hour sale). I’ve done this successfully for over two years. Suddenly the last couple of days I have not been able to select the correct end date; the system is forcing a 48hour minimum sale.

When I checked my sale this morning, it's been pushed ahead yet again to end Nov 17th. I'm now being forced to have a 72 hour sale. I did not approve this. Hopefully Etsy will get this fixed ASAP.

Unable to set a sale starting and ending the same day
I often set flash sales which last less than 24h. I’ve done it repeatedly over the past weeks but since yesterday, I can’t do it anymore. When I use the same date for start and end, I get an error message. I really want to be able to do those flash sales. Can this be fixed?

Etsy community staff say they are aware of the issue and it is being investigated.
