Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

It does. Bookshelf is trolling you.

Time zone changing will not get you banned because you still earn the same amount of cr per day you just earn them faster. So say you hit the cap today and change time zones and earn tomorrows. That just means tomorrow you carnt earn cr coz you already earnt them. Believe me on my main account I did this almost every day to hit inheritor.

Heard 1 person got a 3 day ban or something.

I know several who do it and it was the first I heard of someone getting banned.

I was tempted the other day when I hit 49 wins but didn't want to go through the trouble of doing it.

As far as I am aware Bungie even confirmed back in the day that its wasnt bannable. All you are doing is earning cr earlier you still earn 120.000 per day so carnt earn any more than anyone else. Hence you are technically doing nothing wrong. Bungie apparently also used to do it. What 343 think about it I couldnt say..? However loads of my friends have done it too. I should imagine it still isnt bannable but if your in any doubt dont do it.

I've been doing it for around 3 weeks now.

I got on this morning, got around 4k credits from a game, and it didn't count towards my total credits.

Yes thats because you forgot to turn the clock back before the start of the next day.
For example this has also happened to me. Rememeber that the kiriabti timezone rests around 11am british time so if your in america 7 hours behind that time. If you dont reset the clock back to your time before the next day it glitches the server and will only reset at about 12.00am your time on the start of the following day. Next time change it back before you go to bed.
