I requested authorization to fly today (8/5/21) multiple times.  EAch time the authorization came up on my controller as 8/22/21.  I know some people have had trouble entering the correct date, but that is why I did it multiple times.  I even tried to request 8/6/21, and I still got 8/22/21.  Any ideas?

I have an update.  REGARDLESS of what date I ask for, it always comes back with 8/22/2021.

SOLUTION:  Contacted Customer Support.  Apparently, sometimes, wanting to fly in a no-fly zone tweaks the Self-Unlock system.  The answer is to get a Custom Unlock.  Although this requires an extra step, authorization can be given for extended periods of time (I am now authorized for a full year), so it's well worth the effort.  This doesn't make it any less frustrating, especially since this is a little-known secret, but at least there is a workaround.
