EA QV TeamJust to be clear, the timer displayed on screen is not the one affected. However, there seems to be another timer on server side monitoring the progress of a battle. I suppose this is to avoid to have somebody locking a squad for long. The displayed timer starts at 5 minutes as normal but ending the fight (before time, has more than 3 minutes remaining) gave me a feedback saying that time was up. This is what makes me think that server has its own timer. I would guess you would need to have some poor network state and clear data so you would need to download data to start the TW battle.
