I'm 99% sure that's exactly the case, especially given how I encountered the same problem early game with moon, 30 days increments and Earth-Moon distance paired up couldn't end in any different way.One thing you can do to avoid this problem for shipping around minerals within a system is to use mass drivers instead of freighters. Each one can send 5k minerals per year and only one is needed to receive an infinite amount of minerals. They don't cost anything once they're finished or require workers. Just make sure you don't remove the last mass driver from any destinations.
And I guess I'll pass on using anything below 30 days still, because performance. 5 days tick takes pretty much same amount of IRL as 30 days tick for me.
Doesn't work when the minerals need to be shipped across Jump Points but good idea for in-system mineral transport
