It's a minor issue overall, but sometimes when initiating Jobs, the countdown timer for completion begins at a higher number than the base value.  I've noticed this in the past but chalked it up to perhaps the browser page just needing to be refreshed to show an accurate time.  But today, I tested it when a Farm Robbery job listed the time for completion at 15:34, more than half a minute longer than it was supposed to take.  I refreshed the page and checked again and while it had gone down, it only went down by a couple of seconds, the same length of time that had passed since I initiated the refresh.  I did this a few more times and noticed the timer was still greater than 15 minutes.

I took a screenshot to show this, although the timer was already down to 15:15 by then.



Details:  Farm Robbery Job (Prestiged once for 20% more reward, no time reduction).
Browser:  Google Chrome Version 125.0.6422.60

Another example taken after the previous job's completion:



Refreshing showed the countdown time at 15:35, but I was not able to screenshot it in time since I had to save and upload the above screenshot before I could use the snipping tool to take another one.

One more screenshot to show consistency of the issue in question:

Morning Doc,
I made some changes to the Job Timers over the weekend. Could you confirm whether this is still an issue?

Morning Diablo,

I tested the Farm Robbery crime again this morning.  At first the listed time very briefly said 15:26 (too quick for me to screenshot), then quickly adjusted down to 14:58 without needing to refresh the page.  I believe this issue is resolved.  Thank you!

Perfect, I'll keep this report open for the moment so that I can improve the time shown initially. Once that's fixed I'll close the report :)

Setting this to fixed, I've removed the initial time that pops up and updated every counter in the game.
