There's also some unknown factor at play, too. Sometimes for no good reason, the same offering yields a different time away. There are three possible explanations:
1) There is an unknown point multiplier that fluctuates, which makes smaller offerings worth more at random times
2) The thresholds for certain tiers fluctuate at random times
3) The away time (and therefore) the tier of reward is not 'constant.' Meaning any given gift can provide a range of times with the published times having a very high probability (something like 95% for the 'base' time and some small percentage chance of others at random)
My money is on option 3.
I'm thinking number 3 as well. What it might do is roll for different rewards individually. So, usually, I get at least 2 rewards for 1 R gacha. What it could do is roll to see which item you get first (out of a given range of items, so you won't get 10 candy for 10 R gachas) and then roll for the second item. Their point total then determines the time it takes. If you get two higher-value items, then the time is higher.
Or I am just talking out of my ass here. Either one works!
