There were no major oversteps that took place, but rules are rules and therefore Tänak and Neuville are penalized with a five-second extension even though they were only marginally over the set limit of 240 kilojoules.
According to Hyundai's team leader Pablo Marcos, it was a mechanic who had missed that the maximum value had changed.
The time extension means that Tänak loses the lead to Elfyn Evans, who was two tenths behind after Friday's stages.
Ten legs remain to be run on Saturday and Sunday.
