Disabling Pi-hole and reloading page adds an hour to web interface

When I disable pihole (for no matter what time), and while it's disabled go to a different menu point or even just reload the page, pihole is disabled for another hour (and 3 seconds)

Expected Behaviour:

Pihole is disabled for the actual remaining time even when changing the menu or reloading page

Actual Behaviour:

It adds an hour (and 3 seconds) upon reloading page

Before reload -> disable1 After reload -> disable2

Pi-hole: v5.6
FTL: v5.11
Web: v5.8

Steps to recreate:

  • Disable pi-hole for a set amount of time
  • Reload page

Bug happened regardless of browser (tested with Brave, Firefox and Edge)

EDIT:

After the original set time runs out, pihole is enabled again. It's just the web-view time which is not correct.
Quite confusing when it happens for the first time as it's unknown if it's still disabled or not.

Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or do it through the Web interface:

I just tried it and could not reproduce the issue. Let's see what your debug shows.

What kind of setup is this? Are you running nginx in parallel with lighttpd?

Exactly, I have nextcloud and other websites running on nginx on the same device but differnet IPs.
Had problems with that which could be solved here:

Pihole is running on lighttpd as intended

On what port?

Pi-hole / lighttpd -> 172.16.1.2:80
nginx -> 172.16.1.3:80 and :443

they are independent and not intercepting each other
