The station has expanded over the years with more and more rooms (and APCs) added that drain the SMES. Moving the emitters to drain the SMES instead of the APCs probably didn't help, either. Engineers don't get nearly as much time as they should these days, with a loose singularity appearing in the first 10 minutes a lot more common, through no fault of the engineers other than they weren't fast enough.
I've seen the SMES drain approximately 8ish minutes since round start. This boosts it up to ~15 minutes.
