How long after a raid is an EX Raid Pass issued? (And related questions)
I completed a raid at a sponsored gym on Saturday, September 23 and another at a different sponsored gym Monday, September 25. How likely am I to be issued an EX Raid Pass? About when should I expect to receive an EX Raid Pass, if I am going to get one at all? Does completing more than one raid at sponsored gym or gyms decrease the likelihood of receiving an EX Raid Pass for the second raid? Is a player more likely to receive two EX Raid Pass for completing one raid at each of two sponsored gyms than two raids at the same sponsored gym?

So one possible hypothesis is that EX raid passes are issued on Tuesdays for raids won at sponsored gyms during the previous seven days and the EX raid for which the pass is issued will occur occur two days after the pass was issued, but the hypothesis is looking dubious since you have not been issued a pass so far this Tuesday. We need more data, if anybody has any as detailed as yours.
Same gym. EX raid on 9/21 was a Thursday. It might be distributed tomorrow (Wednesday) in preparation for a Friday raid. It might be Thursday in advance of a Saturday/weekend raid. It might become a true lotto EX pass because tons of people have been raiding at sponsored gyms. Nobody I know of got two EX passes in one week--it might just pick the last sponsored gym you raided at. I'm considering raiding tomorrow at a much less used sponsored gym, in case they have a raiding pass cap at the most popular places
I got an EX pass tonight at a non-sponsored gym and I answered most of your questions in my recent post. However, a couple things to add: I most recently raided there somewhere between September 6-10 with a Rainou raid where I didn't catch the boss. Previously, I've done other raids at this gym. I remember specifically doing Zapdos, Tyranitar, and Exeggutor (solo) at least. I'm a free player and I mostly just use my free pass, but I use it every day and occasionally but passes with gym coins.
Thanks. I read your answers to my question in your post. I am a free player, too. I do one raid on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with my free passes. I don't use my free pass on Friday. I use that Friday pass and my Saturday pass to do raids on Saturday when it is only moderately difficult to get into a group to do a level 5 or Tyranitar raid. I use my 50 coins per day accumulated during the week to buy additional raid passes to use on the weekends. Works pretty well. (By the way, one of my best friends is named Dan and I refer to him as dantheman! He is that, and more.)
