In real time mode the Time Conductor shows a time stamp labeled "Current" which is taken from the end time of the current time bounds. If the time conductor has end padding applied then it is not in fact the current time, it is some time in the future. The positioning of the end offset input further reinforces the idea that the timestamp shown is the current time, and that some padding is being applied in addition to to the current time, when this is not the case.
In the example above the "Current" time is shown as 16:50:41.641Z, with an offset of 15s being applied. In fact the current time is 16:50:26.641Z, and a 15s padding is applied to that.
Describe the solution you'd like
Requires some design thinking. Do we want to show the actual "current" time, in which case we should change the value that's shown, or do we want to show the end bound (which includes padding), in which case we should change the label to something else. In the latter case we might consider changing the position of the label and the padding input.
Testing Instructions
Switch to a realtime mode by changing Fixed Timespan in the time conductor to a clock
Ensure the future padding (end offset) is greater than 0. It may help visual testing to increase the padding by an hour.
Observe the Current Time as we'll be comparing it in the next step
Switch the time mode back to Fixed Timespan
Observe the End Time is not equal to the previous Current Time and that it is off by the padding previously set

The desired way to proceed is to keep the current label modify the logic so that it shows the current time, excluding the end padding (as opposed to its current behavior, where the end padding is included).
