The "remaining" time is something of a red herring: every client-to-server interaction resets the countdown, so from the perspective of the server processing a request, the remaining time will always be the full session timeout value. (I'm not sure how you pick this up from the container, but no doubt a google search will tell you that.)
If you have AJAX components, this time will be somewhat pessimistic because AJAX requests will also reset the countdown. You might ignore this if you don't have a lot of AJAX; to intercept these might require some ugly monkey patching.
