Oh yes, it's me again. ..And I'm still tinkering in the APIs.
So, when a server is up for less than a day, its uptime is reported in hh:mm:ss format, which is handy and parses well. But once it's been up for a day, the format changes and it actually says "x days, hh:mm:ss." This is nice and human-readable, and is what the portal page says, but it crashes .NET's built-in interval parser because it isn't strictly an interval format.
..I can work around it, but wouldn't it make more sense to do the human-readable formatting on the portal front-end and leave the API in a more readily parsable format, like dd:hh:mm:ss?
Use a standard interval format for server uptime in APIs

It would, but I'm too lazy. Sorry.
