The timers in question were removed from Fortnite in 2023 as a result of action by regulators in The Netherlands, and replaced last May with new disclaimers on each item in the shop declaring the exact date and time they will leave the shop.

Players were simply never told how long things would stay in the shop--when something appeared, it might stay for a day, a week, or a month, but there was no sure way to know.
