i think you are looking at the 24 hour focus with the wrong eyes, because you can now skip several days the dayli without making losses, you just must not let regneration come to 100% ;)
but yes a bit annoying anyway, I think you should decouple the loot from the dayli start, so to speak, that the new dayli starts automatically without that I have to have looted first for it,
as it is also with the season reward, the season also starts without that I must have lootet
