I know what you mean. On your homepage, the figures are accurate but not correct. When you click on the game the exact time will (or should) show, and in my case, if your opponent have 5 seconds left and you refresh the page 6 seconds later, the finished game page will appear (Give Trophy, Analysis etc.) but your Online Chess page will not update for a few hours in my case.

give it some time, remember it is running thousands of games.

This is due to website caching. There may be a slight delay in the statistics such as time left in a game as Chess.com uses caching.
I have several games going in online chess right now and I was wondering how often the server updates the information...
On my 'homepage' the most current game is listed as 87 minutes left for my opponent to move, but when I click on the game to look at it I'm told my opponent has 59 minutes left.
Then 10 minutes later, after following the same procedure again, neither of those numbers has changed. What gives?
I want to know how often Chess.com updates the information for online chess games. I would like an accurate figure.
