Hi. Command executed:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc status=progress
8003555840 bytes (8.0 GB, 7.5 GiB) copied, 1994 s, 4.0 MB/s
dd: writing to '/dev/sdc': No space left on device
15638481+0 records in
15638480+0 records out
8006901760 bytes (8.0 GB, 7.5 GiB) copied, 2014.25 s, 4.0 MB/s


   - Could values reported at '(8.0 GB, 7.5 GiB)' be displayed using a two
   fractional digits accuracy (model 1.23 GiB).
   - Could values reported at '1994 s', '2014.25 s' to be displayed
   according to notation <*hour*>*h*<*minutes*>*'*<*seconds*>*''*.


Potential issue:
Since values '1994 s', '2014.25 s' expressed here may in the present
context cover nothing but a same object, non-identical values may be
interpreted as a programming issue. Regards.
