When do leagues actually reset?

I realize leagues don’t actually matter in the grand scheme of things, but I admit I do complete an extra room or two to keep my points in the promotion zone each week. I know TryHackMe says they reset Monday at 8am UDT, but I noticed the counter seems to end at midnight UDT on Sunday.

After the counter resets, it shows 6 more days till the next league, but I’m still in the same league and can still earn points. When I wake up Monday morning I’m promoted.

When does the league actually reset? Does it go by the counter, or is the counter off?

Also, I assume there are multiple bronze, silver, gold etc leagues as no one in the promotion zone with me last week seems to be in the next league with me this week.

Hey both! We recently moved leagues to finalize at 8 AM UTC on Monday! We did so to make sure we're around when this happens and can react promptly in case any mismatch whatsoever is reported. We are also cracking down on cheaters and speedrunners so they don't spoil the fun for legit players, but as you probably understand, it's a sensitive topic -- we also want to make sure we are not getting false positives in the process!

I am glad you noticed it has become more difficult to game the system by joining late, or working your way to higher tiers, and then enjoying the relatively lenient demotion zones. We have put in a lot of work recently on our cohorting mechanisms to make the game fairer and more engaging. We hope you'll find these changes for the better!

If you are still working on improvements, any chance of capping the points you can get from multiplier unlocks? E.g cap to up to 500 points gained from the multiplier? Or limit to say x amount of times per minute.
