Roadblock Timer/Countdown clock

I hit a roadblock after playing my last game on the Facebook platform, 2575. It was a difficult Rancid, I only got one star, so no key to let me through. Oh well, a 4 day wait is on the cards, as I've only one friend playing the game. This was over 24 hours ago, maybe much longer, I've just checked the countdown clock and it says 3 days 18 hours to go!! 

This is the 'new' game, as previously seen on mobile devices, and I'm suspicious that the countdown only starts when you are signed into the game.

Does anyone have similar experience of this?
