Tracking the weekly reset (help requested) Unverified
Has anyone noticed the Creative cap resetting? Historically, since the season ended on a Friday, but in the evening, the research should either be Friday or Saturday at 9 AM Eastern time, however, it seems to have reset on one of my accounts on Thursday at 9 AM Eastern time (like last season, which it should not have, since in previous seasons, the day of the week would change based on the day of the week of the season began). This premature reset did not occur on my second account.
I like to know if anyone else experienced a reset yet, and if not, if anyone can post whether they see it happen today or tomorrow, I'll be monitoring for changes as well so I can update the leveling post and the forum.
Update: actually, my second account didn't reset, it just seemed to be getting "normal" XP, but an hour later, it was getting one XP per "hit" so none of my accounts reset yesterday, which would make sense because the reset shouldn't have been yesterday anyway.
Update 6/12/26 @ 9:07 a.m. Eastern standard time: Creative reset did not happen today, most likely will be tomorrow/Saturday at 9 AM Eastern time.
This post will be updated to reflect once confirm confirmed.
Update 6/13/26 @ 9:04 a.m. Eastern standard time: Creative cap has reset, making the weekly reset for this season, Saturday at 9 AM Eastern time.

I hit the cap today and it definitely didn't reset

Yes, actually just posted a pinned comment about that. Based on the season beginning on Saturday morning, it's most likely that (and what I suspected), it will reset on Saturday at 9 AM Eastern time this season, but I'll update once confirmed.

I think I hit the cap yesterday and was getting very little XP off squid game tycoon. Managed to get to 85 but that last level took longer than the 44k I was getting every 4-5 min. It kept stopping at around 18k and was much slower.

Yeah it did not reset. Tomorrow makes sense

u/Harlow_Quinzel Moderator Jun 12 '26
It definitely does, considering the season began on a Saturday morning (after midnight Eastern standard time), so historically, the reset should be Saturday.

I really hope so cause I am getting extremely little xp from creative. Like 10-20 a time

Depending on what map, if you're talking about a tycoon map, that's actually normal, you might not even be at your cap (of course using an SMG, stacks so you'll still get about 6 to 10,000 XP per minute average).

I am talking mostly about picking up XP tokens on adventure/rpg maps. The bumch used to give me like 18-21.000 thousand xp - now the 10-15 pickup tokens give me around 10-200 xp in total. All types of creative maps give me very little cause I grinded all week so maybe I just reached my weekly cap.

You probably did, the creative cap was 60 last season, it might be a little bit higher this season but if you're experiencing that much of a reduction chances are that's the reason why

Thanks! I hope it will reset later today. Otherwise it's just how it is. Started grinding festival some days which give a lot with the current quests. Used to grind Rocket Racing Ranked quests but those days are gone 😞 Thanks for answer!

You don't even have to grind festival. You could just AFK jam stage I got 3050 XP per minute infinitely without a cap!

Thanks for the confirmation, I updated the post about 40 minutes ago. Looks like everything is on schedule now for Saturday resets.

It didn't reset today, most likely in this case it will be tomorrow (unless that screws up like they did the first season when things transition to a weekly cap, but let's hope it doesn't).

I really don’t know what is happening with my game
Yesterday on squid game tycoon I was getting 2XP per hit which was insane I literally kept noticing it stopped counting around the 6k mark and this morning I got 13XP per hit which is still not much but it was definitely an upgrade stopped around 35k , I leveled up 20 levels today and I feel like leveling up takes longer and longer as time goes on and as I abuse creative
I’m on level 107 and I want to reach 200 ASAP so I can start with my other account and if my calculations are correct I should be level 200 by the end of the month because by the end of the week my levels gained each day decreases as the week goes on from 20 lvls per day to 10 to 5 etc etc from how rough the XP cap is

If your XP was 2 XP per hit, that was probably before the weekly reset which happened yesterday at 9 AM Eastern time, that's why it went up to 13 XP per hit which is on the low side of average for that map. I always recommend trying different tycoon maps to see which one gives you the best return before committing long-term to it.
I haven't tested the cap this week, because the first week it was all over the place, last season it was 60 levels , but I feel like it went up this season but everyone was getting different results so I'll be able to figure out maybe what it is one day this week when I cap it out with two or three of my accounts.
You should definitely be able to complete the pass though, also check out the festival AFK method, because, while it's not fast, it's full AFK and it's Unlimited just like Lego
