Some people like to save up their chests for gold chests. You should only do that if you have plenty of room to work with.
After using your last swap for the day you can quickly tap a chest to get more swaps to stop the day from ending.
Swaps are basically labor to pay workers to move things around. When you run out of swaps there's nothing else you can do so the day ends automatically without you having to press a button to say that you're done for the day. So instead the game gives you 1 second to open any chests. If you open a treasure chest you're basically paying workers overtime for extra labor for the day.
