Bonus Campaign Progress days?

Not sure if this is the right place but i didn't want to post in the GNN post that hasn't been posted in recently(or maybe i was looking at the console announcement)...
The news release had this to say: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11276273-can-you-pass-starfleet's-ultimate-test?
"There will still be Bonus Campaign Progress days (formerly “Bonus Coupon Days”), but they will be less frequently present than the previous iteration, and less predictable."
So my question is this... Have they done 1 without announcing it? I played every day of Kobayashi and have done every day of the current event(im pretty sure), and i have 1700... which works out to 34 days at 50 so... im not sure how that works unless i missed a two days(which i dont think i have but thats what the math says...) and they have done 2 bonus day(there have been no news releases about this, but 30 times 50 is 1500 plus 200 is 1700 and im pretty sure kobayashi had 21 days and Breach has had 11 days so far)...
Are they doing it on random days without announcing it? Or am i doing the math wrong some how/misread my points and I'm only at 1600?
If they haven't done any yet.... whats the deal? They decide to save them for the last event so people who haven't already got the coupon will be able to catch up?

If was supposed to be automatic, it may be bugged.
If not... I wonder if they forgot.
That said, if you finish every single day, you'll still get it by the end of this event.
Each of these standard FTFO events are 21 days (22-23 if you cycle every 20h exactly). So 42 total, which is 2100/50/d.
i'm glad i'm not just being paranoid due to the latest cash grab presented by Cryptic... ohh i'm sorry the new method of enticing people to log in more so they can hope for the ridiculously over priced items to be at 90% or more off.. sorry that's been building up, but...
I haven't been following it that closely, but I was under the impression that this is only the 2nd of at least three token progress events. So even if "less predictable" turns out to mean "surprise ninja invisible un-bonus days" there should still be plenty of time to complete the token.
(If I've missed a token event and this is the last one, feel free to correct me.)
This is the 2nd T6 C-Store Coupon event they have run, and they always implement more days than required to acquire any shiny, the need for them to make this obvious isn't required because it's, erm, obvious.
My point is they said there would be bonus days, and 34 days in out of 63 there has not been one yet. The first event for this coupon had 0 bonus days and @2/3 of the way though the second event there has been 0 bonus days. If they planned to wait to the third event to toss out bonus days they should have said that, not just that there would be less of them....
Why should they have said that? They made the point up front not to count on bonus days like in the first event, to keep people from assuming they could skip a bunch of days.
Putting all the bonus days in the last event would be a big help to anyone who started late and missed the first event.
Or to play every day in the first two events so you can skip the third one completely.
Anyway, Cryptic has given us 21 spare days for the T6 ship plus the buy-out option, so they aren't really need to give us any bonus days at all.
I'll be finished before the second event ends unless something happens, but i know others wont... what if someone just cant do the third event for some reason and they missed a few of the first event... If the bonus days HAD been spread out, not left to the back half of the time frame, this hypothetical person would probably still get it. An while you may think the "bonus" days are unnecessary, Cryptic said they would happen, and thus far they haven't followed through, thats all i'm saying.
One only needs to do 66% of the 3 events to get the token. If you miss so many days you can't finish it's unrealistic to expect Cryptic to account for that, bonus days or not.
What I am saying is that Cryptic said the "bonus" days would be fewer and less predictable but still there... and they haven't lived up to that yet.
Well, if you think about it, yes, they have lived up to that. There's definitely been fewer bonus days.
There's still a week in this event. I suspect, and I could be wrong, there will be a bonus weekend next weekend since it's a holiday weekend. I would be disappointed if there wasn't since it would be perfect timing with Black Friday sales and all.
