Hi.

I just want to double check my findings. Please tell me if the timers for potions are operating differently.

Barter and Persuasion potions keep their timers running while you are talking.

- - Meaning you need to get to the store or persuasion option inside the conversation before the duration expires.

Smithing and Enchanting potions keep their timers running while you are navigating the components UI.

- - Meaning you need to select the correct components and press initiate crafting before the duration expires.

Are these statements correct? Has anyone else found otherwise?

Sounds right. I'm pretty sure I remember rushing through the Smithing and Enchanting menus in the past to try and craft more than one item before my fortify potions wore off. And since time doesn't really freeze in those crafting menus, it would make sense I guess (people still walk around and talk nearby).
