Two Questions about two different campaigns

Hopefully someone can clear this up for me.
I have been away for six months and just came back recently. After re-acclimating myself to things and figuring out some of the new systems, I discovered a couple of campaign issues.
1) This is probably the easy one, so I'll start with it... Past campaigns had you run one part, then when you finished it you would move to the second part and so on.
Sharandar, for example. You work in the ruins to complete the first part, then move on to another area for the second part and so on, collecting the appropriate currencies for each stage according to where you are and what missions you run.
But then I start "Draconic Rage" and I immediately jump in to the second part. Is there no way to get credit for the first part of the campaign now short of buying it out?
That seems much more like Redeemed Citadel than Sharandar, and that, to me, is not a good thing.
=============
2) And speaking of Redeemed Citadel, I finally finished up Descent Into Avernus this past Saturday and got to start the Redeemed Citadel campaign.
I had long ago forked over the money for the Reforger's Blessing bundle, so my immediate question was "Okay, so what passes for currency here? What am I supposed to collect to advance the bar?"
I then saw the board and that awarded Zariel's favor, so I grabbed a quick mission and went out and did what I had to do to get some of that favor, but the bar never moved.
It was my understanding that the Reforger's Blessing bundle was supposed to let me run this campaign on my own time. I see no other reason for it to even exist.
Okay, so I paid the money, now what do I have to do to start advancing the campaign so I can collect the rewards that I paid for?
Thanks for your time and knowledge.

2. For Redeemed Citadel, you said you did one quick mission and got some Z favor and the bar did not move. Did the number in "Personal Progress" change? If you only earn few (like 10), the bar won't move. The first milestone is 7000.
I paid for the Reforger's Blessing bundle on the promise that it would let me do the campaign when I was ready to do the campaign.
Whether a week, a month, a year, that shouldn't matter. As long as the game is up and running, anyone that paid for this should be able to progress this.
Thanks for the help.
It's definitely broken. This is my bard, obviously started long after the end for non-paid progress. The progress and inventory amounts should increase at the same rate. However, the progress bar is frozen at 905 now.
As said above, it was explicitly promised at the start of the Redeemed Citadel event that the Reforger's Blessing would never expire.
I am going to avoid any details on the actual process and just cut to the end...
After some back-and-forth I told them that I wanted the service or I wanted my money back. They gave me the Zen.
At least now maybe you can put it towards Aasimar Pack, which has some similar rewards, that is if you choose to do so.
I think though Draconic Rage (Event) also ends end of July for (vast majority) yet if you unlock the Premium rewards, it then expands it out to Aug 31st. So it basically only extended it by 31 days for those who paid for the unlock, and while I wasn't around for Redeemed Citadel I wonder if that was similar?
They did indeed say you could spend forever to complete it if you purchased the Battle Pass.
As they figured out that regular new Battle Pass events could be a good source of income, it became obvious that having one that was active forever was impracticaL. So an end date was set: reasonably far ahead, but an end date was set.
Currently new Battle Pass events get an end date from the start.
Then as they announced the 4th phase, they wrote So they did say that Redeemed Citadel would close. But only at the bottom of the phase 4 announcement.
If anyone else cares, this is the link of that news.

Update: I checked internet archive. Although the page was changed since the original post, the text regarding this matter was in the original web page.
The phase 4 announcement was posted on Nov 10, 2020. The next mod, Sharandar, was released on Feb 15, 2021. 3 months heads up time for those who spotted that sentence.

They literally sold the reforgers blessing to us as we can do it whenever we wanted provided we fork over the 4k zen. Extremely disappointing.
> Redeemed citadel was the first of what is now called Battle Pass events - time limited events with a secondary reward track that is payable.

In the business world. That's called a bait and switch.

The only problem with that assertion though is that I've been able to complete it on characters since that date no problem. It was only recently that my characters that hadn't completed were unable to make progress.
