The Fix....And More Issues
A few hours after the "unlimited coins" post went live on Reddit, players began noticing that their gym defenders were no returning with coins. Although this is a somewhat common complaint among Pokemon Go players (usually due to players not noticing that another Pokemon had already returned with a max amount of coins,) it quickly became obvious that Pokemon Go had totally shut its in-game coin distribution down.
Around the same time, players also noticed that Pokemon Go had removed its special "Anniversary Box," which offered players a bundle of premium items at a slight discount.
Niantic acknowledged the issue on Twitter, and quickly assured players they were looking for a quick fix. About an hour after Niantic made their announcement, players reported that coin distribution had quietly returned. Players also reported that the "unlimited coins" exploit no longer works.
It's likely the outage was due to Niantic trying to fix the time zone exploit and accidentally shutting off coin distribution entirely.
As of press time, Niantic had not announced that they had fixed the issue. Niantic has also not said whether there are any plans to reimburse players for any coin bonuses lost during the outage.
