This happens periodically for me under certain conditions, essentially the buff goes into "negative" timer and never ends, unless I die.

Trying to find AB to be able to reproduce this, its happened before on other maps, so its not map specific. Anyone encountered this before?

It's working as intended.

I encountered this like 2 month ago at ET run with Agi Up.

I informed the support, but I couldn't reproduce it, so I think nothing happened.

You teleported at the moment the buff started/ended. It's just a graphical bug, you don't actually have sacrament effect.

For infinite sacrament effect, use a kvm fist...

your client failed to receive the packet that notifies you that the buff expired. rather than track these timers locally, the server tells you when your buff wears off. all the client does is count down from the starting time that was sent you your client when you last logged in to that character or the buff was last applied. since the effect of these timer icons is only to remind you when to rebuff, a check to see if zero has been reached is not needed, and infact would only consume additional processor cycles (i really dont think anyone would notice the diff) that shouldnt be needed. in a perfect world, the server would notify when the buff ends and no check for the timer being less than zero is needed, but we've all seen this bug performance enhancement and it's unlikely to go away.

Did you even check to see if there was a difference with your cast times anyways?

The "bug" also happens with my Soul Linker when I am in the WOE and I [dumbly] cast Kaizel on myself.

Kaizel, being unable to revive myself in WOE, it will "never" fade away. I got some huge negative timers, of like, half an hour or even more.

But I never tested reviving myself after WOE.

... Or a Nidhoggur Card as a Warlock... When it gets implemented~~~~~~

I've had it happen with other buffs before, namely a BM. The icon remains, but the effect does not.
