Might be related to this. Luckily it was all fine the next day.

Glad you got your boosts back. I'll be interested to see if my neighbouring inactives have "boost-able" Builders' Huts tomorrow.

Depends on the other neighbours, I have some inactive players around which obviously received help on the BH, so I could not hit it anymore

You are so right. I just went round again today and all those whose Builders' Huts I had boosted yesterday were no longer available to receive help. It could be because of other active neighbours visiting them already. Today I boosted a few Huts that are kind of hidden away and so not obvious to the casual visitor. Tomorrow I can see if those are still receiving boosts or if the problem has solved itself.

This is complelty correct, this is the result of that bug.
Which seems to be fixed with todays 'shitty' version

I saw this and then went to aid my neighbours just now but it is still not completely fixed. For example, one neighbour, whose Main Hall is in a permanent state of upgrading so I am sure they are no longer active, had a Builders' Hut that I was able to boost.
Unless all the inactive Builders' Huts were reset so I will take two such boosts before you can no longer give them Neighbourly Help.

Just gone round my inactive neighbours today and again there were some whose Builders' Hut could be aided. If the problem is fixed then tomorrow even those should no longer be able to take a boost.

Finally got around to visiting my neighbours today. There are still three who I am pretty sure are inactive and yet I could still boost their builders. One of them

MikeConn

has a Crystal Lighthouse that is in a permanent state of upgrade so I am sure he has not visited his city in a while.

That players has a lvl 5 builders hut tho. Since the original bug cleared all help that means you would have to give him at least 5 buffs on the buildershut before its full again.

That explains it. The others are in a similar condition. Thanks
