Rewards timestamp displayed in app doesn't match when rewards were successfully distributed when transaction fails

Describe the bug

The detailed WXM Rewards transaction for 8 August shows the rewards occurred at 7am local time (UTC-5), same as everyday (which is noon UTC). But the submitted transaction around noon UTC that day actually failed (The blockchain transaction actually says the failed transaction happened around 12:22pm.) Instead, it looks like a replacement contract call happened approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes after the failed transaction, at 2:37pm UTC.

How To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Look at actual contract transaction history for 8 August 2022, showing a failed reward distribution call around 12:22pm UTC, and a subsequent successful transaction around 2:37pm
2. Compare those times to the exactly Noon UTC (7am localtime) in the app for that day.

Expected behavior

I would expect the timestamp in the app (in both the rewards chart and the detailed rewards list) to match when the rewards actually succeed and the rewards are awarded to the wallet. If that is not feasible, then perhaps add some comment in the app that the time displayed is when the reward amount was calculated but actual blockchain award can be delayed. If this latter approach is used, perhaps the time can be clickable to display that comment.

Additional context

I am only noticing this 2 1/2 days after the fact. As a result, I cannot know if the app, during that 2 hour and 15 minute window between the failed and successful transaction, either in the detailed WXM rewards page or in the WXM rewards chart, showed rewards had happened at 7am localtime (noon UTC), even though no rewards would have appeared in the wallets of station owners. That is a definite concern of using an exact noon time in the app display for the reward time (perhaps that is when the rewards are calculated in the back end rather than when the WXM tokens are actually awarded to the station owner).

I want to point out that the detailed rewards transaction list in the app does accurately show the successful transaction ID, and does not show the failed transaction ID. I think this is the first time that a failed transaction was recorded on the blockchain, so it's nice to see that the app handled it gracefully for the most part.

Hello, thanks for the catch Greg. At the moment it isn't possible to set the time to match when the rewards transaction actually succeeds. We have this optimization planned for the future as we understand the need of it.
