I see, so my miner was connected when the blocks were found, but just not when they matured? That makes sense, thanks for the explanation!

No, even if you're not connected to the pool any longer, your shares have to age out.

So lets say I connect with 10TH and the speed is around what it is, it will take me 11 days before I'm paid for my full 10TH for any blocks found during that time frame as my shares are ramping up to full. Once I disconnect, it takes 11 days for my shares to ramp back down.

So in the above example if we find a block on day 2, I'll get paid like I was actually mining at around 1.8TH/sec, day 4, 3.6TH/sec and so on until day 11 when I'm paid at 10TH/sec. If I stop after I'm at fulls shares, they ramp down at the same speed.

This is all based on the current pool speed and expected time to find a block etc.

edit: after looking at it, expected time to find a block is about 66 hours at 900th/sec for the block, so 330 hours for the full 500% share. It takes just under 14 days to reach full shares.
