Below is a printout from zonemaster-cli. The first messages has the time stamp 40.21 sec and then the time decreases down to 0.00 sec after which the time increases again.
The first message must have a time stamp that gives the lowest time, and then the time must increase or be the same for each message. Or else the time stamps cannot give any meaning.
