Indie Gala 9 was meant to end last night, instead now, they added about another 130,000 seconds to the end time limit.

Maybe it's just me, but am I right?

1 gift (aka "Full Bundle") = $5.99
2 gifts = $12.09

You are right, but you don't get the point ;)

Because 2 gifts would now (during Happy Hour) be 4 gifts, but you would be better of to purchase 2 x 1 gift to get 4 gifts.

I do not get it as well - I would like to know what the criteria are for adding more time so I can guess in advance when the next bundle will be available - I want to get rid of my additional keys but I won't put them up as giveaways as long as the bundle is running ;)

I bought 2 gifts during the first Happy Hour for less than 9 USD. (don't remember the exact price, probably around $8.70 - but I know for sure that 1 gift was $4.99 during that time)

Now 2 gifts are $12.09 and 1 gift is $5.99

just before the first Happy Hour the price was $4.99. In a very little time after that started, the price went up to $6.77. I was watching

I was watching the bundle pretty closely during a few happy hours. Each time right b4 happy hour the BTA price was $4.99, when happy hour started it rose to $5.99 or above very quickly, and then when the happy hour ended it dropped very quickly back to $4.99 again. It's the speed of the price fluctuations that's suspicious.

It's been discussed before and they've been doing it for months.

If you've bought during Happy Hour before you would have noticed it. After a week or so they'll randomly up the 'Give x for x gifts' options as well.

Nine Indie Galas and they only once broke $100k. Yeah, they're definitely desperate for more sales. Average revenue has remained steady but their number of customers has declined.

I think part of the reason for that is because of their weird method for purchasing multiple bundles (see DopeFish's example above). If they switched to how Humble Bundle does it (I assume Indie Royale does it the same way Humble does) then they'd probably make more money.

And also if they stopped giving away the bundles via Happy Hours which really lowers their income

Indie Gala has been gimmicky since at least Indie Gala 2. Extended running time, day-long happy 'hours', wildly changing so-called 'averages', not to mention the term 'Indie' seems to have lost all meaning.

I haven't bought an indiegala since #5, I bought a 2-pack and never received the additional gifts they said that users who purchased before "happy hour" would get.

You have to remember to check the "Is it a gift?" box to get additional gifts for Happy Hour. Otherwise, it's just one big purchase for one bundle of your own.
