Voyage Dilemmas Not working

I hit the 10 hour mark and the dilemna notification popped up. The Icon is blinking with the alert and when I click it all it does is take me to the voyage screen showing me the ship, antimatter, and mission log. The dilemma doesn't trigger. I've tried restarting, waiting on this screen, or playing other missions then going back and no luck. The timer resets back to 10 hours 0 minutes after 2 minutes or so. People on Reddit are saying that it is a platform issue and I may have to recall - which is complete and udder nonsense. How can this happen and why won't DB respond to my customer support emails or provide a fix to this so I don't have to throw away the rewards and recall the issue. What is going to stop my next voyage from having the same problem ?

Another option some folks have had work is I Am Picard if you have a working version.
They'll just tell you to recall it, and maybe refund the cost for the last refresh. Mine froze at the 2 day mark and that's the response I got. Completely unacceptable imo. But seeing as how they directly benefit from the bug I don't see them fixing this issue any time soon, if at all, unfortunately.
I do not often get to 10 hours and this time I had the voyage revival token ready to be claimed to get to 12 hours. That would have been 2 chances (10 hours and 12 hours) to get purple voyage drops. Instead now the voyage revival was used in my 7 hour voyage today.
If this is a known issue and it can so easily be demonstrated by leaving the voyage for CS to restore, and refund items, why could the policy also not include refunding something for the missed dilemma at 10 hours?
Right?! In the past they did compensate something for the missed dilemma. When it first happened to me around/over a year ago I asked that. Was told they can't blah blah and I ate all the Dil I was out and took the one refresh. It was just Guinan so I just accepted I wouldn't get her and didn't refresh voyages again. Was beyond annoyed when I seen some say in the thread they got the character from CSR since they had such long voyages that bugged. So they definitely can do it.
Then they added McCoy which is my fav. It's been a year and I had 8k banked so gave it a run. Got to 18hours and it bugged. I did like you and got it going. Then bugged at 20 hours. Nothing would unbug it so ticket gor sent. Got told (roughly as we can't copy paste CSR conversations) what I posted above again. Told em that's not cool and they can keep the voyage rewards that I'd prefer to be made whole again or the character. Was three days since last reply. I opened another ticket to see about what the deal is and it was almost immediately closed and merged with original ticket; by same CSR so know they seen my update replies asking what's going on.
This whole experience, especially as has happened twice now to me at cost, has left very sour taste. I have little hope any of these game breaking bugs will be fixed. They gain from them and that's all that matters it seems lol.
At the moment, I am stuck at the 8 hour mark, but other times, I've had it stuck at different times during the Voyage. It is really irritating to say the least.
Last Voyage I hit the 12-hour mark, rather than hanging, there was no dilemma at all, just skipped passed it.
oh.... wait..... sigh.

For Beginning of the End of the World I've found that if you restart the game it should give you the option for part C (provided you chose correctly in the first dilemma).
I tried the various fixes above. Force restarting the app or switching devices seemed to work best when it came up.
What I eventually did was to set an alarm to go off about 2 minutes before the next dilemma would trigger. When the alarm went off, I would open the app to the voyage screen and keep the app/device awake until the dilemma triggered. I didn't discover this until the last few dilemmas, but each time that I used this method, I did not encounter the bug. I understand that it's a small data set, but I would encourage everyone running a long voyage to do the following:
I would be interested to hear if this works for others running long voyages.
