Extend Minimum Community Pricing Closure Time to at Least 1 Week
Please can you extend the minimum time that it takes to close community pricing bidding to at least one week?
As I understand it, the bidding always closes at noon on Friday (or soon thereafter), and any product that reaches 100% (or otherwise triggers bids to close) before the preceding Wednesday enters the closing bidding phase. This means a minimum of two days for final bids, though it can be up to eight or nine days if 100% is reached just after the Wednesday cut-off.
When there is a longer time period, the number of Community Pricing bids tend to increase greatly, bringing the final product price down. However, this happens a lot less when there is a short closing window. I'd like to ask that the minimum time is set at one week (or even nine days, adding one week to the current minimum). This should allow more people to get on board at the end, increase the availability of resources and cut the price for many users, keeping customers happy.
It seems a simple but effective change. If it's not accepted, please can you give us an idea of why not? Otherwise, it would be good to see this implemented sooner, rather than later, especially with all those older commentary sets about to enter the final phases of bidding.
Many thanks.
