Mass changes in Confirmation Statement due by date?

Not strictly an API issue, but doing some housekeeping over the weekend and we’ve noticed that in around a third of the companies we’ve checked the Confirmation Statement Due By date is a month to six weeks (usually closer to a month) later that it should be according to our records.

Does anyone know if this is an error or some kind of covid related automated extention? Or something else?

There was Easement Legislation work performed over the weekend. The Easement Legislation allowed Companies House to extend next due dates. Approximately 3.8 million companies had these changes made to the Register over the weekend.

Thanks a lot Mark, will pass that on.
