Paralyze timer not right?

So i have noticed this for a while now but not sure if its just me. The new status bar that shows what buffs and debuffs you currently have with pictures is really cool and i like it, but i think the paralyze timer is off, it will say 20 seconds left and then it will sit on 0 for like another 20 seconds before i am un paralyzed. So i think the timers is like 20 seconds off, when it says 20 it should say around 40 and so on...

That is because of the way temporary mods work. There is a script running every 30 seconds checking if a spell effect has expired and removing its effects, so if the spell expires 29 seconds before the next run, it won't actually expire until those additional 29 seconds have passed. All buffs and debuffs with an expiration time have this same timer offset.

It's one of those old and archaic things that need to be replaced by a more efficient one, but is no simple task.
