Tour De Zwift - not a race No Coffee stops

Hello,
I just did the 1pm (GMT) Stage 4 Tour de Zwift standard and are 35 minutes still no coffee and then on 45 minutes with 10k to go the coffee sign came up and lasted 1 min.
Its was lunch for me so I had to stop. What is wrong, why no coffee stops?
Thanks

Did you late join? The coffee clock starts with you, not the event, so if you late joined that would explain the coffee at 45 or so minutes event time.

Thanks for your reply. No, I was in fact 5 minutes early.

When you tried to activate the Coffee stop was there another rider near (within say 1-2 seconds) you? There needs to be.

When you activated it for that 1 minute coffee stop were you next to another rider and if so did they stop applying power after 1 minute as that breaks the 3 minute coffee stop help?

Hi, no there was no rider near me at the time. And when I reactivated it there was also no rider in the vicinity.
I did not know such a rule applied.
Thanks

Link below is useful information on Coffee Stop. This website is also useful for all things Zwift.
