If players own the Premium Battle Pass, Chrono Tokens will automatically be redeemed for items at the end of a season. NetEase explains: “If a season has excess and Chrono Tokens remaining and the Battle Pass has not been fully redeemed, the system will automatically request the remaining items in the standard order until there are insufficient Chrono Tokens to redeem any more.” or all items have been redeemed”
