I'm going to over answer the question because I'm not quite sure what this player is saying. Most likely, either the player is mistaken about what is happening exactly and what is triggering the things described or the player has some unheard of technical issue with their game or their device (or the game developers have created yet another bug in the game).

I believe the daily reset, which affects a number of things in game, occurs at 8:00pm Eastern, 7:00pm Central and 5:00pm Pacific currently (not sure which time zone applies to you or this player). I believe that will change when the time change back to standard time occurs in the U.S. in November. When that daily reset occurs:
 * Gifting resets to allow up to the max free gifts and up to the max collection items until the next reset; I don't believe gifting resets upon a level up, experience or reputation, but I tend to do all my gifting separate of any actions that could increase my level so I haven't tested this assumption
 * Hiring resets to allow the daily maximum; the daily maximum increases at certain level increases in reputation, which are usable upon being granted (the number of friends hired per play also increases at certain levels)
 * The number of friends visited for whom you can get bonuses and the number of charge actions per friend resets to the maximum allowed; the daily maximum increases at certain level increases in reputation, which are usable upon being granted
 * The Magic Crystal progress advances by one day on the current piece
 * Desktop awards counters are unaffected by the daily reset but rather by the passage of time in the device's date/time settings
 * Energy and Power counters are unaffected by the daily reset but rather by the passage of time in the device's date/time settings (at a rate of 1pt/3mins) and any actions taken in game; also reset to maximum upon Experience level up
 * Reputation and Experience are only affected by actions in game
 * Talisman counters are only affected by the passage of time in the device's date/time settings

It's worth noting that time travel (TT) - at least backwards, if not also future - can affect everything above except Reputation and Experience. After reading through this, if this player is still noticing differences between gifting in their game and normal gifting, or anything else detailed above, the player may want to first try shutting the game down completely (including ending the app process so it isn't still active in the background) then rebooting the device. If it's still happening when they go back into the game again, then they can try TT backwards, take a least one action, then TT forwards again to current and see if that resets the gifting (and whatever else wasn't resetting properly before). If that doesn't work, then they should submit a ticket for support with MyTona and/or G5.
