Conflict Zone Ceasefire??

So I've Googled my heart away and cannot find anything solid about ceasefire and why it happens, how long for, what effect etc., but I was in a CZ last night, couple dozen ships spawned, dozen per side, had two choice of factions in my right hand screen, but as per my usual I shot one of them and the other 11 went red so it auto chose my side and off I set to clear the CZ.

I cleared the CZ but then noticed I wasn't getting any combat bonds or vouchers appearing on my transactions tab, so checked the faction choice and it said ceasefire - even though the two sides were still fighting!

So first off, when does ceasefire occur, how long etc., and secondly, why would the fight still be ongoing if there's a ceasefire?? The second sounds like a bug, or like I broke the ceasefire so they carried on but I didn't get reward.... I'm sure the first part of the fight the ships said wanted and then after the ceasefire it said lawless.

If it helps, this happened in the Nyikari system, and the civil war was between two factions with 7% influence each? There is also only the single space station in this system, though a base was listed on my left tab which doesn't appear on Inara or EDDB...
 
Ceasefire is the conclusion phase of any conflict zone's combat.

Ah ok, so I guess at the next tick (maybe it actually ticked whilst I was there as I'm certain it didn't start as a ceasefire!) then someone will be the victor and the other should be retreating, or maybe just state set to None?

There is a one day ceasefire at the conclusion of a conflict state to ensure that any assets involved in the conflict change hands properly.

Ok thanks, I guess I must've been super unlucky to arrive at the CZ whilst the daily tick was in progress!

Ah well, onto the next system which is having a Civil War :D
 
You have to choose your faction in the right hand menu before opening fire. Shooting one of them does choose sides, but you get no combat bonds for any subsequent kills.
 
When the ceaefire appeares, the conflict ended and the conflict zones will disappear soon. You may be able to complete your missions by overriding the ceasefire. Your mission targes will still be valid.
