Yes, now it really has become much more difficult for bounty hunters to interact with bounty companies. I also have experience of such extension and my bounty company lasts for more than 30 weeks and each time is extended for 2-3 weeks. I can not get out of it, because I do not count all these weeks worked. So my choice is to wait and do everything as described in the company's terms or else all my work will be meaningless.
