DHCP Leased Time

My router displays DHCP data which includes Leased Time

Two of the readings are as follows;

25:25:21.800
2:09:57.080

What do these mean? The manual makes no mention (Now there's a
surprise).

Leased Time are the maximum time the ip served by the dhcpd is reserved
to your host.

The lowest number give you the delay your host have to request again its
ip, the upper number say the maximum delay your host can keep this ip.

Your host ask your ip after the first delay, and retry if it can't get
immedialtaly the answer. If it received no answer, with new Leased Time,
after the second delay it lost its ip.

Still a little confused, there appear to be four seperate numbers,
three seperated by a colon and the lasy seperated by a full stop.

My router display shows the IP address allocated to my Access Point leased
for 0:0:04.990, if I read that correctly it is 4 seconds and 900 miliseconds

It does not alter if I refresh the router display so I am obviously still
misunderstanding something.
