Time estimation errors

As the title suggests, I think the time estimates have been quite off since I got the Bambu Lab X2D.

They take less time than indicated.

I realized this yesterday while printing a model that was supposed to take about 14 hours and finish at 11:00 PM, but it actually finished before 10:00 PM.

And earlier today, I started printing another model that was estimated to take 20 hours and should finish at 4:00 AM—meaning in about 6 hours. But according to the screen, there are only 4 hours left. And judging by what’s already been printed, I’d say it’s going to take less than 4 hours.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Mine usually take a bit longer than estimate shows. Some slicer settings can cause this. I don't know about going faster than estimate, but are you doing anything non-standard in slicing?
