According to itch.io help files:

"There’s one more way to restrict access to your project page: setting a future release date. In the Metadata → Release info section of your project in your dashboard you can provide a release date.

When that date is set in the future then no one will be allowed to buy or download your project until the date has elapsed. Your project page will list how much time is left until the files are made available."

But that doesn't seem to be happening. Am I doing something wrong? I want it to auto-release on the date and time set, and that's what this seems to be saying it does. But instead, it just releases the game.
