Declaration of Friendship expiration question

In my current game, everyone is denouncing a run-away China. I'd like to as well, but I'm waiting for my DoF with them to expire. I checked the diplomatic overview and it said that I have 5 turns left on my DoF with China; but after more turns passed, it read, "remaining time: -4 turns."

So when does it actually expire? What does having negative turns remaining mean? Thanks in advance.

I've seen the negative turns too, but only between AI. Maybe a bug in reporting? My declarations always expire eventually but not always on the time scale I'd expect from the overview.

What is your time setting?

The display on remaining turns doesn't do a good job on Epic and Marathon.

So for normal, a DoF might last 50 turns while on Marathon it is 150 turns.

However, the countdown starts at 50, so for Marathon it will last until you reach -100.

There's your answer then. The DoF should expire after it reaches -50.
