Warning about Event Campaign progress and TFO map timer

Noticed this in the last event that counted for Campaign III and confirmed it again today.
When you complete a TFO for the event, there are 2 separate timers that start running. One is a 5 minute timer to choose a reward. The other is a 2 or 3 minute timer for when the map closes.
Choosing a reward will give credit for the Pahvo event (as long as you have it available for the day, of course), but if it is not chosen within the 2 or 3 minutes of the MAP timer, you will NOT get the 50 points of progress toward the campaign. You can't get it by running another TFO, either. You will need to wait for the next day.

The previous event segment had the same problem, I wonder if it will be a permanent bug.
Maybe? It might have always been this way and I just did not notice until the previous event.
Don't know honestly. First I heard of it. I just theorized about the leeching thing. I can check with darkblade on any reports of this, and maybe pass it along if it does sound like a bug.

Thanks. You might find reports of this from the Tholian event as well (https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline#/discussion/comment/13668244). And there were some comments indicating it may have been happening for a while before that.
One theory the last time was that it had to do with leaving the map before choosing a reward, so I tested that. As long as the reward was chosen before the map timer would have hit zero, the campaign event still received the progress.
Obviously I don't want to test this too often because I do want to get the campaign reward, but if it would help for a developer to check my account when it happens, I can offer to sacrifice another 50 points to the cause.
While I'm not the Bug Hunter Mod, I will tag @darkbladejk to pass it along.
