CE not giving shards?

So i've been playing the CE event everyday on each of my characters. Today, i noticed that my main, was two crystals short. This was AFTER finishing the mission, and collecting the rewards, one of which said it was a crystal. On my main, i have 7 instead of the 9 i should have, but on each of my others, i have 8. is my cooldown (much like many other cooldowns) not working properly?
is anyone else having this issue?

It would have been nice if they had included a cool-down timer, or made the shard reward a additional mission like the Fleet Mark STF daily missions... (e.g. Klingon Scout Force, The Big Dig, Gorn Minefield...)
Also, make sure the shard isn't in your over-flow bag, as you can't contribute it to the CE Event project if its in there...
Evidence:
Currently Running 6Chars... 2 have previous CEE which I can finish in time to still score both the old and new event if I time it PERFECTLY.
Tip 1: Co-ordinate your runs on CE with Lore missions (both have 20hr timer with Lore being visible).
I also set a timer for each 20hrs, Once my 6th Char gets their shard I start the timer and away I go.
Noticed this morning. 2 chars had timers running appropriately and got their shard right on the 20hr Cool down. 1 I had mis timed. The other 3 actually had a 24hr timer applied to them.
WTF?!
A Visible timer on this event would be a good idea.
My main concern here though, is that the cooldown wasn't going like it should, because i was waiting plenty of time, but i've been having issues with all of my cooldowns in other areas. powers that reduce cooldown will reduce the number of the cooldown, but not the dimmed effect, so it's not really cooling down certain abilities even though it ways it is. ship powers stop cooling down any time i'm not actually on the ship, when they used to cool down even if i logged out. Just weird things like that. With all the little patches happening, i wasn't really going to rule it out, even though it did seem unlikely.
Still, due to some family drama, i'm about 4 days behind as it is, so the possibility of missing out due to a cooldown error would really be disconcerning.
MASSIVE problems and Bugs with this.
As stated previously, I am working this very carefully with both internal and external timers. Yes I sometimes get the timing slightly off, but usually only by 5-10 mins and I identify that immediately.
My characters all tend to go in order from lowest priority to highest. and run immediately following each other.. (doing the same things every time... Do Lore Mission (not turning in), Run CE, Turn in Lore (20hr timer starts), DOFF's - complete & restart and finally Rep and Fleet Contributions.
Today after update. Went in and confirmed char timers had finish (lore 20hr timer complete) - queued for CE, Ran CE... Bang. No Shard.
Was woah...WTF!!! of wont turn in lore, let me check next char just in case I screwed it up someone.
Next Char... Lore Counter had reset - Did it as usual (not turning it in yet) - Did CE Run... BANG... NO SHARD...
It was on my third character that I thought I might have stumbled on the problem, checked with fourth and confirmed.
Since UPDATE - CE POST MISSION REWARDS ARE RANDOMLY NOT SHOWING CORRECTLY 80-90% OF THE TIME.
Yes the awards ARE being issued, but not shown on Screen or in the chat window as they where previously.
So now aware of this, go back and recheck my characters, yes they seem all ok except 1. (my Main char). I figure, I have probably just screwed the timing here (I do this char differently).
Still... at 20hrs - No shard for the event. at 24hrs - No shard for the event. at 28hrs - No shard for the event.... Finally 33hrs AFTER obtaining my last shard... Still no Shard awarded.
This is a problem...
your master plan is flawed, because the Lore mission timer starts when you take the mission, and not when you turn it in. So during the time you do the CC the timer is already running.
Secondly since the patch (10.10.2013) i noticed that the shard is not shown anymore in the reward pop-up but only at the left side of the screen with the other items that go into your inventory.
