Thanks for posting this; I also point to the issue in my recent bug report, “Global Time Not Progressing at the Increased Sim Rate,” here: Global Time Not Progressing at the Increased Sim Rate

You point out that this bug makes it difficult to tell what the increased sim rate is, which is true. But I must stress upon the developers that it also creates very serious impediments to the flight simulation itself because an accurate accounting and progression of time is critical for aeronautical navigation.

This is a serious bug that needs to be addressed for MSFS 2024 to have serious use as a flight simulator. MSFS 2020 models the increased sim rate correctly.
