I keep seeing this number halve until it reached a satoshi, so I thought this is my EC balance... Guess I'll have to wait it out then.

I guess, because of this, the pool thinks that you are still mining with it, thus it hasn't started to count down the timeout..
I've got a good mind to restart my miners and mine for a couple of days, just to reach the ~0.67 level and clear my remaining balance now. Damn the temps here!
