As usual, lit another fire about 4-something hours with usually debris from the boxes. And then I began to heat more with little branches. Duration indicated around 5 hours and but then sudennly bugged for a few minutes when i was throwing a little branches in fire. Died. Check this bug please.

Sorry for my english. Not native.

You're speaking 'fire'...in that case I assume that it was outside?

Could it be...the weather was 'bad'...was it? ;)

Yes. It was outside.

It was safe place, without wind. Indicator showed that fire must lit for 5 hours. Then it became 5-9 minutes in one sec when i was throwing more wood.

Fire duration suddenly reduced and capped at 9 minutes is telltale of wind blowing on your fire.

Wind must have shifted on you.

Wind will blow out already lit fires.

Blown out fires have 9 minutes maximum life.

No amount of fuel will raise life above 9 minutes.

No other indication is given.

Edit: Actually, you can see the smoke blowing out of your fire sideways, too. So there's one other indication...

Selfless is right. It sounds like your fire blew out in the wind. Anytime a fire jumps down to 9minutes this is very likely whats happening.
