  • Isn't that time how long ago you first posted the comment, not how long ago you edited it?

Chat relies on the API for the data for oneboxing, and the API can sometimes take a small amount of time (under a minute) to reflect changes. Since you posted a link to that comment 31 seconds after creating it, it was certainly less than a minute since you had edited it.

If you try posting a link to the same comment now, you'll see it's correct:
