What is your suggestion?:
Show how long bonuses remain active on the View Boosts screen. For things like a minigame boosts, bonus XP, etc., show when that will end (X days, Y hours and Z minutes left)

Is this in OSRS?:
Nope, but then again neither are boosts afaik

Has this suggestion been accepted already?:
Not that I could find

How would this benefit Alora?:
Lets users know how much longer they have to take advantage of the benefits. Means we can easily determine if we should start games or kills, use scroll boosts, etc.

We are already told when bonuses like minigame bonuses/ bonus XP starts/ends on forums, as for the other bonuses (raids/ bosses) they actually do give you a timer but ill stay neutral since I wouldn't mind if changed also

Don't think it need dev time for thing that we already have, if u see in boosts u can see how long u have the boost. A staff do post the topic for weekly/weekends boosts times (start time).

This information is already provided by the Event Manager's Weekday & Weekend Events topics on the forums, weekly.

This information is often inaccurate. Just last week we had GOTR running through the early week from the weekend event without any indication in the forums posts for the weekend events or weekday ones. Having it directly on the boost display means it would be reading from the source of truth and always be up to date.

Sometimes staff like to treat us with unposted boosts, so that kind gives shock to us, that we have additional boosts

That doesn't change that it would be nice to know how long those unposted boosts will last

There was currently a bug affecting a few bonuses (GOTR, Tithe, Wintertodt, Tempoross, MLM) from showing their remaining time, however for the rest of the server bonuses the time left is shown, if applicable. When a bonus is set, they're given an option to set a countdown timer, and if they turn on a bonus without one, it's impossible to provide a countdown for players, so you may want to ask the event manager running the bonus how much time is left.
