Machining times within patterns are inconsistent

I always and only ever use duplication patterns with the below settings:
If I select all operations within a pattern like so:
Sometimes (like in this instance) the machining time in the lower right hand corner tells me how long those toolpaths take per each instance of the pattern. In this case 23 seconds per part. Other times it tells me how long the total pattern will take. So if that pattern has 4 parts sometimes it will tell me it takes 1.5 minutes (or technically just over a minute as I'm saving time with tool changes)
Right now today if I want to see how long everything in that pattern will take I can't select all operations. That would just give me the time per part (23 seconds). I need to select the pattern in the tree like (or the setup obviously) in the image below. That's how I'd like it to be and I can only assume that's how it's supposed to be. But sometimes selecting all operations (not the pattern item in the tree itself) gives me the total time.
EDIT: That might be a bit confusing. So Sometimes if I select all operations within a pattern like so:
I get the same exact machining time as if I selected the pattern like so:
Other times I get two different machining times.
