The Wikia Editor wrote: Episode 9 of Runaways presents a bit of a complication with the current timeline. Namely, both Jonah and Alex state that the kids witnessed the PRIDE ceremony "weeks" ago, implying that episode 9 occurs on December 22 or later.

The flashback with Tina and her family (taking place 15 years earlier) also shows a surprisingly young Nico. I suppose we can assume that Nico was born in late 2000 (making her about 1 and a half or 2 at most during the flashback) in order for her to be 17 in December 2017. I haven't done my second viewing of the episode, which is when I pay more attention to timeline things. I did notice that Alex said it had been a difficult couple of weeks, but I was going to pass that off as this being the 2nd week. However, checked the transcript, and you're right, they say it's been weeks.

Runaways has done the Spider-Man: Homecoming thing somewhat, just not as hard with its contradictions. But Episode 4 picks up the same night as Episode 3, which is Saturday, then goes to what it presents as the next day, but which is Monday. Then Episode 5 happens that same night, and they say it's a few days until the gala, which appears to be at the weekend from the way they talk and act in the episode, but in Episode 6 they act like Episode 5 was only like 2 days ago, not 5. And then in Episode 7 they act like it's again been only like 1 or 2 days, but the episode presents it being set on a Friday (Victor says "on Monday, you'll apologise to my son" or words to that effect). But then the next day they're in school again in Episode 9. It's just a bit weird.

We had gone with it being Friday 8th Episodes 1-2, Saturday 9th Episodes 3-beginning of 4, Monday 11th Episodes 4-5, Wednesday 13th Episode 6, Thursday 14th Episodes 7-8, Friday 15th Episode 9. But with it being a couple of weeks, it will have to go Friday 8th Episodes 1-2, Saturday 9th Episodes 3-beginning of 4, Monday 11th Episodes 4-5, Saturday 16th Episode 6, and then Episodes 7-9 at some point the following week. It would seem like Thursday and Friday, based on Victor's comment about "on Monday", but that doesn't make much sense for any weekday in that week, because he'd be referring to Christmas Day, when they're definitely not at school. If it were Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th, this would be more believable for school having not yet broken up and works better with the feel of how long it has been since Episode 6.

As for the Nico thing, that was weird. I was going to assume that Nico was born in like August 2000 (latest possible), and then that's like January 2002 (earliest possible, by 2017 - 15 = 2002)
