When should an offer be revoked? 1 min before the start of settlement conference or 1 min after the end of a settlement conference. I know for a motion, it is usually before the motion starts

One of the points of a settlement conference is to get an opinion from the judge of what they think of a suggested structure/content of an offer so put it in the brief.
Based on what the judge says it can help move things along. Judge may just say "I hope both sides come to an agreement" which may be code for I think this offer is good or one of you two are idiots for letting this go on so long.
The only point of withdrawing a settlement offer is to put pressure on the other side. Maybe your ex will say to her lawyer "just shut up and take the deal that is on the table" or accept it with a slight change.
The downside of putting time limits on an offer is that when it comes down to costs Judges frown up on them.

Your ex will get spoken to at the SC/TMC by the judge for not having an offer to settle. The whole point of the conference (and all conferences to be honest) is to settle. And if your offer is reasonable, all the better for you.
Is your ex self represented?

Odd that their lawyer hasn’t pushed for one. The package you received was complete right? No pages missing or other attachments? Did their lawyer offer to meet to discuss before the conference? My husband’s ex was self repped but had a lawyer for the SC. Her OTC was outrageous but her lawyer met with my husband’s lawyer and they met in the hallway back and forth to come to an agreement outside the OTC. Could be the lawyer may make that overture?
Or your ex could think they are completely reasonable and won’t make one. Which won’t bode well. This may work in your favour!

I want to say this is a good thing since it appears either her lawyer is an idiot or she is stupidly directing them. But then again, you waste your time for the conference. Although if you are self repping, take comfort in knowing she is wasting money needlessly!
