Then why does it have a count down timer? It could just say which part of the cycle it’s on instead. If I see a timer counting down, I expect it to be accurate. I don’t expect it to go from “5 minutes” up to “7 minutes” or to stay at “5 minutes” for 3 minutes. That doesn’t make any sense at all. It ceases providing the single function it was designed for.

It's its best estimate at that point in time.
