Summary

At 9am CET every day, custom assets get unloaded from an unknown amount of games in progress.

Description

At 9am CET every day, custom assets get unloaded from an unknown amount of games in progress. Testing reveals that all custom icons used in command cards revert to green squares, or the default blizzard icons if the path for the icon overrides a blizzard-specified path. I've been told that unit and item textures (models?) unload as well, but was unable to confirm with my test, perhaps because the units/items I tested with were pre-placed. More testing will be done to confirm this theory.

Additional Information

May not happen in single player games, does not happen at the same time on the PTR.

Expected

Nothing should ever unload from any game in progress.

Actual

Things unload from games in progress.

Reproduction steps

Host a game before 9am CET and wait for 9am CET to roll around. Not every test I've conducted has resulted in unloaded assets, but the majority of them have.

Does it happen at other times of the day in other regions?

edit: Observed on Asia at 9am CET as well.
