Steal Time during combat

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this.

I am casting Steal Time and the counter starts. I continue combat and run through my encounters. I see that Steal Time is ready again and I cast it, but when I press the button the icon disappears and goes on countdown again for another 4-5 seconds. I have seen it go back to 9 seconds, 3 seconds and even 1 second. It is usually betwwen the 4-5 second mark.

Nothing seemed to have interrupted the casting, and I did not stop the casting from happening.

It seems to appears recharged and when I press the button I am in the middle of combat and...no Steal Time.

    Yes sir, I have the same problem. I cast the encounter and....nothing and the cooldown timer starts. This is definately a bug.

    Yes, except mine seems to work a bit different, but consistently different. If I'm out of battle Steal Time works, normal timer, and it works again on the next cast. But in battle it works the first time, with a consistent cooldown, then, on the second cast (still same battle) it WILL fail but the cooldown timer varies. Third cast works fine as long as I nothing interrupts it. (normal interruptions).

    Previously, in mod 15 it worked like the tooltip says except it was more prone to phantom interruptions that would trigger the shorter cooldown. Like when mobs stack on you and push your character, similar to how NPC's in Protectors Enclave push you out of their way. But the fizzle it gets in mod 16 seems like it is broken because of the rate of failure being predictable on the second cast in battle.

    I had this happen a few times at the same times when my augment companion was giving me ZERO stat increases. To me, it appears that something (perhaps runic encounters) are disabling our companions, perks, recharge bonuses. If so, then we are seeing the recharge that Steal Time is supposed to be at... but when we click on it... instead of casting, it updates the time to what would be remaining if we had no recharge speed bonus.
