AoE is exactly 12 hours behind UTC, so UTC is AoE plus 12 hours. UTC has no daylight saving time.
11:59 UTC on the next day. AoE is UTC−12 and UTC is UTC+0, so UTC is 12 hours ahead of AoE.
12:00 UTC on the same day. Midnight AoE is the start of the deadline date, so a deadline that says 00:00 AoE is a full day earlier than one that says 23:59 AoE.
12 hours, all year. AoE is UTC−12 and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is UTC+0.
No. AoE is a fixed UTC−12 and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) does not change its clocks, so the conversion is the same on every date.
AoE means Anywhere on Earth. The deadline passes only when the stated date has ended in every time zone, which happens last in UTC−12. If it is still the deadline date anywhere on Earth, you are on time.
