Pick 'ems time frame

Not sure if it's been like this in the past - someone can feel free to correct me here as this may be incredibly useless of a thread.

I've done all pick 'ems in the past. They're fun, they generally catch my attention and it's free icons, why not? But this year, it seems like pick 'ems were open for like... no time at all? We had less than 3 days to complete the groups stage when I feel like the past it's been a full week. I only just saw the mission once and didn't have time to complete it as I've been immersed in some interviews, etc. Does the group stage of pick 'ems generally only last 2-3 days, or is this something new where the time frame has been shortened drastically? I was really looking forward to completing it on both accounts but didn't realize the harsh deadline.
