Oculus Store iOS app offers notifications come very late, expires too soon

Good day to you all. I am a proud user of a Oculus Quest 2 and being on a budget, I keep my eyes peeled to the Oculus Store for offers on games I might like. Though I have noticed a problem with the notifications for special offers that come through the iOS app I use to look for games and make purchases. The notifications come very late and expire quite quickly, here the latest example from the last offer. 7okmq4fvsa2k.jpgdp2bwbkf9k0b.jpg

Although in Dutch, I think you can get the idea. I got the notification at 22:39 local time for IronLights, at around 23:15 I saw the offer, but it expired in less then 10 hours. Meaning even if I looked at the offer at the exact time it came in, I had just over 10 hours to make a purchase. Which for most of the time I was asleep and the mornings aren't exactly a great time to look into reviews etc, due to my kids, I'd rather to that at night. I don't think these offers would only last 10 hours, my guess is 24 hours, but I have no idea. I can remember being a few games I would be interested in, but I missed because of this problem. I also have seen offers coming in through my notifications at 3:00 at night, also with just barely a few hours left by the time I could even look at the notification.

I have only now seen that I haven't enabled email-notifications for offers, which I just did, I hope they come at an earlier time. But that still leaves the question, is there any way into getting these iOS app-notifications earlier? Best case would be as soon as the offer starts.

Same behaviour here, on android, and in europe.

I also get notifications at a similar time in UK. I wonder if someone in USA is able to comment on this. I suspect it's a region issue that has been overlooked by Facebook.
