Chart attached. I expected ~nobody to be sending end-of-study pings for the Flash study, but this isn't the case. There were a peak of 600 people who sent end-of-study pings on 16-May.

There is an expected a fairly low level of user-ended-study pings, so this doesn't appear to be users *choosing* to leave the study. My understanding of this signal is that it's users being automatically finished, which should not be happening until 15-June.

I also expect none.  Looking in to the code reveals this:  

https://github.com/squarewave/shield-study-essential-flash/blob/master/lib/study.js#L12

```
"duration": 14
```

Which seems like Not What You Want.  

Best fix:  roll a new addon with that value set to a Big Number, and a new addon version, and it will deploy via normal update. This will *extend* existing installs, and *new installs*.

For people who have already expired, they are gone :(
