Boundary and timezone assumptions
These presets answer a quick countdown query, but their boundary rules matter. The notes below separate the resolved snapshot from official deadlines, local policies, and cross-city scheduling.
Resolved target

Roll behavior
This is a rolling weekday preset; it rolls weekly after the named weekday/time boundary passes. Refresh after Friday 17:00 local time if you need the next occurrence rather than the already-resolved snapshot.
Local-time boundary
The resolver uses JavaScript Date local calendar rules for the runtime and then displays the resolved instant to the visitor. For travel, legal, payroll, or cross-city planning, confirm the intended city and authority before treating the timer as official.
