Model run in webserver shows earlier stop time than actual model

Using webserver to run a model with stop time, though the actual model has stopped at the exact configured stop time, the web page shows a stop time that is earlier. Refer to picture.webserver_diff_runtime1.jpg

Is this a bug? Or is there a way to get the web page shows the same stop time as the actual model?

Any suggestion or help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Here is my theory: when the model hits a stop time, there is no update for the stop time widget in the browser. If I hit the stop button, the widget updates to show the correct value:

I'll add this to the dev list, to see if we can improve this behavior.

My only theory is that the model has one of the following:

A call to stop() or endreplication() somewhere in the model logic. Maybe the model stops itself?
A disabled stop time. Perhaps the webserver enables all stop times for a model?

It is hard to test without the model in question. If you are able to share the model, that would be best.

Thank you for looking into this query.

The previous model uses AGV and it contains commands that requested AGV to stop, so I've created a different model using only standard operators and processor (attached 2023Upd1_sample.fsm). The stop time shown on webpage still does not coincide with the model.

FYI. I am accessing the webpages using localhost (not sure if this is important info).
