I've seen many times where switching to or from daylight savings causes havoc with software due to a bug getting by the quality assurance team for that product.There's a reason that daylight savings happens on a weekend. Too risky of a change to make while many of the global stock markets are open and other 9-5 stuff is happening.
Onstar did have a glitch, for some customers such as myself. I received an email at 10am, apologizing for the inconvenience, and 1200 points on my account.

Omni Logic also sent an apology, to disregard, but no free stuff.

Shark didn’t apologize for anything, but after mop, it did self clean into waste bin.
