Alright. I know this isn't the place for this but i couldn't find it.
So, i've changed my name 30 days ago and it's been exactly 30 days now. But whenever i click "change name" on minecraft.net it says "You change your name again in 0 days". Is this a bug? Does anyone know the solution?
Yeah wait until tomorrow and see if you can change it then, you were probably under 24 hours which the site thinks is zero days which it technically is.

To tell them how to live is to prevent them living.
As others have said, sounds like a rounding bug in the message. If I had to guess, I'd assume the system records the exact date and time of the name change, then adds 30 days to it.
So if you change your name at 1:30 PM on 10/1/19, you can't change your name again until after 1:30 PM on 10/31/19. The system message then probably looks at the total time remaining and rounds down, so from 1:31 PM on 10/30/19 the message will probably say 0 days until you actually complete the entirety of the 30 days.

If so, then please don't hesitate to answer.
How long have you been trying?
Maybe it's not quite 30 days but less than 1 day left and the site rounds that down to 0?
I checked on my account (without actually changing the name) and it seemed ready to accept a new name.
Just testing.
