*Episode Updater does sometimes set episode status to wanted if airdate_offset is set, so it does partially work.
airdate_offset override setting does not actually snatch for episodes ahead of time, as pymedusa will declare that the episode is UNAIRED, even if finding objects in a provider search, as it does make the search, find matching results, if any, and then ignore the results because the logic behind ignores anything marked as UNAIRED.
it is my understanding airdate_offset instead sets Episodeupdater to mark things as wanted, which is fine, but forced search and daily search where results are found should be respected despite UNAIRED status is found.
change the offset in the negative, by -168(hours) if using the example in 1.
5A. fail to automatically snatch anything because it's hardcoded to ignore episodes marked as UNAIRED, despite searching and finding a result. (i.e. indexer date says episode releases 7th of january, but episodes actually release to distribution 1st of january
5B. hit the Forced Search button, see it get a green checkmark, indicating search was made, result was found.
go to logs and review results (provided one has enabled at least nyaa as provider)

(optional) go to indexer website and change dates to not need to use airdate_offset
(optional) have site admins revert your change (TVDB/TMDB/TVMAZE), as they don't consider streaming services airing things early to be part of scope of their platform. (see image below for context)
Expected behavior
for it to snatch episodes, despite being labelled as UNAIRED, because airdate_offset override has been set.
Medusa (please complete the following information):
Additional context
a conditional to check for if airdate_offset might be needed to make airdate_offset function as desired, appended to the UNAIRED checks.
it should be noted that it sometimes solves itself if the EPISODEUPDATER thread has been ran.
