Again! In the same game, my opponent's time is over 240... more precise, the time is 258h at the post moment.

The game is #24408.

Thank you.

This will happen if your opponent times out in another ongoing game. Then a vacation days is triggered and ALL of his games get 24 hours extra time.

The rule of timing is confusing. It must have been changed many times since 2003, but it does not look better than 10 years ago. The opponent gets negative hours (one -36, another -13, now) without triggering a vacation day. One's time jumped to 36h from negative thirty something by one play. I guess no vacation day was affected. This is a hole of the timing rule, and someone is misusing it.
