Storefront reservations have zero budget cost when they are unclaimed, Trail's End controlled, and scheduled within the upcoming 7 days (today through 6 days ahead).
This zero cost flag is applied to any storefronts auto released and when a storefront is released manually. For example, a Saturday reservation released that same Saturday is free; one released for the following Saturday is not.
This means you can pick up a No Budget Cost storefront even if you're already at your budgeted hours. It's a way to grab last-minute opportunities without having to worry about going over budget.
How It Works
As you're browsing available storefronts to reserve, look for the No Budget Cost flag on the storefront card. If a storefront has this flag, reserving it won't add any hours to your budget calculation, no matter how much of your budget you've already used.
Only applies to storefronts flagged No Budget Cost. Your other reservations, and any hours you book outside of these flagged storefronts, still count against your budget as usual
