Lives

mutalett

So I was playing and my lives finished so I left the game... hours passed I thought they were full again so I went back only to find all those minutes pending...I don't know if it's because I was using VPN or something but I don't know what to I can't wait all those hours...is there a way you can help me ???

You need to turn the clock/date on your device forward while the game is open. Turn it forward more than 7290 hours (I think eleven months would do it, so change your date to December 2026 briefly) and then your lives will be "full". At that point change the clock/date back to the correct time.

I think what you must have done in error is set your date forward and then you played Candy Crush "in the future".

I am afraid that this maneuve will probably mean you lose the prize palooza event, but I don't think this can be avoided.

Hey @mutalett thanks for sharing the screenshot!

Lives refill based on your device’s local time, so if the game detects a big time change, the timer can pause or reset. This can happen if a VPN is turned on, the device time zone changes, or the clock is adjusted manually.

That’s why it looks like all those minutes are still pending even though time has passed.

What I’d recommend trying:

• Turn off the VPN (if you’re using one)
• Make sure your device’s date and time are set automatically
• Fully close the game and reopen it

Once everything matches your local time again, the lives timer should start behaving normally. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way for us to skip or fast-forward the timer, but this should prevent it from happening again.

Let us know if it starts refilling normally after that 👍
