Manual Cost update
I wanted to update manual cost...however I am a bit confused on the date and times. If I want to update cost for yesterday, the default comes to 2015-06-17 (0.00) - 2015-06-18 (0.00). Wouldn't that be 25 hours??
Should it not be 2015-06-17 (0.00) - 2015-06-17 (23.00)

What qureyoon said. 
Midnite to midnite = 24 hours.

This was a bit funny to read at first (no offense OP), but I get where this is coming from. Different systems use different ways to represent time. 2015-06-17 (0.00) - 2015-06-18 (0.00) WOULD be 25 hours in ExoClick.
But on Voluum, they represent 24 hours midnight to midnight as Vortex said. If you switch from "Today" to "Custom Time Range" (as here http://prntscr.com/7iponx ) on Voluum you can see that they treat time midnight to midnight.
We should standardize things on the internet man. There should be an Internet Standard Time and codes.

Hey arun! That's really neat! So then what would 24 hours be displayed as on ExoClick? 0.00 one day to 23.00 the next day? But then wouldn't that only be 23 hours?

There's already a standard for that: W3C/RFC... unfortunately not every dev follow it...

They should fire whoever did the code!
It's not a matter of standard. It's just simple math.
And should be done correctly

I am talking about their time targeting settings. Basically, 00 means 00:00 to 00:59, so 23 means, 23:00 to 23:59. So you get the idea, what they actually mean is 00:00 to 23:59 and we are supposed to figure that out. lol

If only we had a say. They should fire their campaign review team too.
When the title of a campaign says, "Clone of [Campaign ID]" and when they can't see the landing page, why don't they just look into the previous campaign and see how it got through? Such a waste of time.
