Leap seconds are irrelevant. Let's say the routine being measured took 86,710 seconds. You would be completely correct in saying it took 1 day, 5 minutes and 10 seconds even if the run happened to span a midnight at which a leap second was added. The TOD clock is ignorant of leap seconds. They are solely about keeping the world's civil clocks aligned with solar noon.
