[1.1.39] Server without players not paused while catching up

[oof2win2]

So I have a server with large hardware requirements for players to join.
The following scenario is with no players in-game or connecting, except for me.
My issue is that when downloading the map, the server is paused, and the tick stays the same. Whilst loading and catching up, the server however turns back on (the tick is unpaused), as you can see in the image below. I believe that this is a bug since it is unwanted passing of time on the server. If a person that doesn't have a good computer joins, has the progress bar in the middle for catching up and goes away, the server will be left running for an undetermined period of time, probably until the connection from the client is ended. This can advance time in-game severely and cause unnecessary strain on the server itself.

In the image above, the game's save is _autosave21 (as it has been copied from another server) and autosave69 is an actual autosave.
Here is the relevant log

hello,
can you pls check how often the rcon "usually" goes for the server?
I want to cross-check if this one is related again yet another time.

(i.e. I expect something like this)

webm

(to be the reason underneath)

[oof2win2]

I understand, however that is not what is occurring here. My rcon is polling only once a second when players are online, which they are not - since it is only me who is connecting. Even if the checking logic was broken and the handlers ran, the time difference would be inexplicable; from the Discord photo, you can see the bot showing me the game's tick. It's a time difference of ~136 seconds (8174 ticks), so that would take over 2 hours for the bot to poll at the speed that it normally does, which it did not, rather the 136 seconds correspond about to the times when I joined and left.

If you want to handle your issue, you could try saving the amount of players through the `/c rcon.print(#game.players)` lua script (on bot/script init) and the factorio-current log which outputs player joins and leaves.

Whilst loading and catching up, the server however turns back on (the tick is unpaused), as you can see in the image below.

As the code is written, this is not a bug
