Here's a clip if you don't know what I'm referring to. Long story short, Haunted Lost Sectors stop spawning bosses after 10. Fast teams are left with a minute of just sitting there until the final boss spawns.
It's a really fun new mode, but I don't know why they added a boss cap.

Sometimes this is the way it goes. An annoying bug is found, isn't felt to be high enough priority to rush a fix in or pull resources from other initiatives. Why not higher priority? It's not as impactful to the whole of the community. While I don't have exact numbers, many teams are finishing the 10-boss-burn with less than 20 seconds to spare. Many teams don't even get through the cap! Still a small hiccup before the final boss spawns, but far less impact. Additionally, it's not considered to be a high priority blocker. Burning 60 seconds while waiting for a boss to spawn can indeed be annoying, but it's not erroring players out of the mode, preventing quests from being completed, negatively impacting performance... stuff like that. It's indeed a hit to momentum and the player experience, but it speeds right back up with enemies start spawning again.
It can be a bummer, especially when it impacts the top percentiles of the community that burn through the bosses fast enough to hit the bug. If we end up having a fix before the end of the event, we'll be sure to let you know! If not, we'll note it for next year in the case that Haunted Sectors return.
