Plasma resist charges (ground) not working

There are green plasma resist charges that add something like 20% plasma resist to your ground shields for 5 minutes. There are even Omega rep ones that are blue and purple with increasing levels of resistance.
Just yesterday I noticed something funny, and I hadn't noticed it before because of ground combat and focusing my attention elsewhere.
I was waiting for the shield barrier to come down in Cure Ground, and I fired off a plasma charge. I checked my personal health/shields bar by the team members list and noticed it was there, great!
Wait a minute, what's that? There's a timer under it. It only lasts for 20 seconds. It was either 20 or 30 seconds, something very short.
I check the tool tip, it says 5 minutes. I open my inventory, right click, go to "info" -- and it says 5 minutes.
This shield charge is utterly USELESS with a 30 second duration. I think that the DURATION is mixed up with the GLOBAL COOLDOWN that it triggers on my standard shield battery.
Please look into this. I haven't tested the blue and purple you buy with dil from omega rep, but I seem to recall they disappeared well before 5 minutes are up when I've used them before.
I will be confirming the timer and submitting an in-game bug.

Ticket #2,727,003
That was actually the second one I submitted. The first one didn't show in my current ticket list, so I got paranoid that it never submitted -- I didn't note the ticket number at the time -- so I resubmitted the matter.
They must have goofed, and listed the same description for all 3!
But, than again IMO, the greens should only be a 10% DR for 5mins, while the dilith rep ones are as is!

The payoff is you're putting your time and effort into grinding for them. It's not like the dyson BZ where you go idle and come back with 10,000 dil. This is actual work.
That said, going by the pattern of better items adhering to the same specifications with a slight boost, the green modules SHOULD be 5 minute duration. They should not be reduced in damage resistance. If you want that, make a white quality item.
Something is seriously fubar with the bug reporting system if they literally delete bug reports they have no intention of fixing. They even remove all trace of the ticket??
Can we get a dev response on this? Can we add the plasma charges to the "to-do" list? They're 100% useless with a 30 second duration.
Tribble notes 9-23
We'll see how that goes, as I don't know how many times Dev's say something is fixed, only to find out it isn't actually fixed!

But 25 dilith[Omega rep under consumables] for 25% plasma resists for 5min is not bad imo.
EDIT: I just checked tribble. It's working on a 5 minute duration now. Let's see if it translates over to holodeck properly...
