Question: Message Game Time Ending in X minutes

[Rockcrawler]

Every once in a while I see an in game warning message.

The message is displayed in center of the window.

The message is your standard windows looking warning with a yellow triangle (Ok button inside). The message states "Your game time is ending in 30 minutes." I believe this message also gets sent to the chat window.

I click the "Ok" button, let my bot finish up and then log out.

I typically see this message when I've been botting for 14+ hours.

My question is, what system is generating this message? Is this WoW or HB?

Thank you.

Maybe you have the parent control on in your battlenet account.

It's WoW. Sounds like you've got some parental controls on like Coffee4MePlz has said. AFAIK, limitations on the amount of time Chinese players can play are also notified in this way. Check parental controls; definitely not HB

Thanks. I'll check this tonight when I get home.

This warning usually means that your monthy subscription is ending...if you have a credit card on file it will automatically charge you for your next month and you will not see an interruption in game play. Most times you are not logged in when your monthly subscription rolls over and you would not see this error.

I don't have parental controls setup on any of my accounts.

I found this on the wow forums.

This message means 30 minutes remainding before your subscription time expires.
Just renew it and there you go.
If it exipres during df/raid/bg/etc it will let you end it and then will log you off.
