I'm getting crazy happenings on writ timers.
I took a 30 minute ish tour, they changed by 6 minutes. I /think/ they're 5 times too slow, approximately. (It works out about that testing in seconds)

Can you be more specific about which timers you mean and how they're behaving unexpectedly?

I am having this happen as well! To leave a note now, my timer just told me that I had 26 minutes and some seconds left and it is 1:16pm PST. Will update again in 30 minutes.
Update:
1:26pm PST - 25 minutes and 31 seconds left on writ timer
1:51 pm PST - 23 minutes and 9 seconds left on writ timer

The writ CD timers, they're not accurate. Mine I was pretty sure was counting down in a 5:1 ratio (5 seconds would only equal one second on the CD timer)

The timer you get when you use -date, the timer you get when you visit the agent? If possible, could you please take a picture of the timer?

I last took three writs at around 8:30 pm PST. It is now 11:00 am PST. Here is what the writ timer says when I talk to the agent in Brog about writs.
Okay, I have the screenshot but I can't figure out a way to upload it here. If there is a way I can send it, let me know.
Basically, you go to the writ agent, you say, let me see available contracts and they say, you can have your contracts yet.
In the combat log, a statement pops up, (usually two times in a row) with a timer that says how long you have to wait. At 11:00am PST mine said 22 minutes and 59 seconds. Based on the behavior yesterday, it is actually counting the right time. I was able to requests quests in the evening like normal. It is just reporting the wrong time, or a transformed version of the right time.
More Stuff:
the -date command produces 3 hours, 38 minutes and 25 seconds. This is right.
talking to the writ agent produces 21 minutes and 49 seconds.
Taken that i tested this a few seconds apart, if you do the math, the Writ agents response is off by a factor of 10. Somewhere in your script you have print(timeleft/10,format="HH:MM:SS") for writ agents and print(timeleft,format="HH:MM:SS") for the -date function. I don't know the syntax but you get the idea.

The agent CD timer. The one that says you can't accept writs until X.
I'll SS it if it happens again!
