I'm roughly guessing it's going to end in about half an hour!

I dunno how you're measuring it, but it's been at that speed for a while. According to my explanation, each time you refresh it, the rate increases. However, it's only really noticeable if you haven't refreshed in several hours. So, yes, as we approach zero hour, it will get faster and faster, but it WILL NOT end until midnight tonight. Also, the longer you let it sit there, it slows down as it "catches up" with the correct time. Don't pay much attention to that.

It's OK. The way the clock works is about 1000 times more complex than a clock should be, so these types of mistakes are expected.

This is being discussed in multiple places. I'm condensing and moving this topic.
