I'm a bit confused and I'm sorry if i missed this in another thread...
I madea buffpack with duration of 9863 and how long does is that? (9863/60/60) 2.74 hours (2h 44m)?
-- I think thats right but I didnt have anopportunity to test before leaving to work.

That is correct. Buff durations are listed on the packs in seconds.

Is there a problem with either buffs not lasting as long as they are supposed to, or the onscreen timer being wrong?
For some time now i've noticed that buffs will run out usually up to 10minutes before the time onscreen says they run out, sometimes even up to 30mins.
Today was the worst ever. I got my buff, checked the times for all 6 stats and they were the same. After playing for about 2 hours i checked them again...all still showing the same time left. Not long later my buffs suddenly vanished except for Action which showed 1hour 1minute left...and that vanished after about 15mins

Could it be that the target of your buffs have high BF that is effecting the level?

That is what we are talking about. Your own BF does not affect giving others buffs.
At least I never had a buff reduction when my own BF was over 250.
Only when the buffy has 250 and up does the buff go down,

The problem is the targets BF, the Doctors own BF doesnt effect the results.
Whats happening is that the BF is lowering the Max Duration even though its not being shown in the small Enhancement window.
A buff thats normally 2400+, 3:20 hours long is lowered by 250+ BF but we only see the buff number drop. The time has gone down too but we just cant see it, im guessing is cause the time can vary so much on packs, even if 2 docs made packs around 2400 their duration can vary anywhere from 10-60 minutes.
Best way to avoid this is to insist on their customers getting their BF all the way to 0 before buffing. Who knows Duration might start lowering with just 100 BF, theres not real info to proof everything starts at 250.
This is just my opinion though
