Trial of Sekhemas escape trial timer doesn't pause during lag

In a lot of situations this game handles lag SOOO well and i almost never die to it, even if i get disconnected i come back mid fight and i'm fine.

However today i was running trial of sekhemas and was in an escape trial where you run to the crystals before the time runs out. I started lagging and the game froze up but the timer did not stop so i lost due to the time running out even though I was unable to move.

If whatever mechanism you use to pause the enemies and us when there is lag could also be used to pause the escape trial timer that would be awesome as it is a very frustrating way to lose a trial.

your mobs get paused when there's lag? so i've been pausing to ride out the lag for nothing!?

This also happened to me.
When the lag happen (network chart keeps steadily going up), I noticed the timer continue counting even when I pause the game myself (hit ESC to open the menu). But the timer do pause normally if I pause the game when there is no lag.
