Rotary job timer

gSender 1.4.11
SLB firmware 5.05b on LM Mk1
Vortex with closed loop stepper

Actual run time of the run was 2:26.
At the start of the job, the time remaining was 126 days.
At 95% finished, the time remaining was down to 1 day +
At 98% finished, the time dropped to 12 minutes.
All the timers froze and the job continued for another 5 minutes.

I would like to see a more realistic remaining time indicator for rotary projects. The job that I am running now will likely take a little over 2 hours. The remaining run time, after 9 minutes in, was 470 days!
This is a vcarve project, with the gcode created with the Sienci Vortex post processor.
I am not using the slider to change feed rate.
This is not the exception. The remaining time for rotary projects is meaningless for every project.
