Help diagnose why the eternities seem to stop entirely when offline. #3499

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I leave my game in offline mode for more than 4.5 hours, eternities go from happening every 51 seconds to not happening at all. According to a 7 year old reddit post, this is likely because when crunches are set to 6 seconds and offline ticks are set to 100,000, if I leave for too long, crunches happen every single tick and I never get enough IP to reach my eternity autobuyer.

My problem is I would have had almost no way to diagnose this issue, and in fact it was only chance I finally used the right words in one of several internet searches to find the issue. Since it got worse the longer I was offline, it made it absurdly difficult to advance, and I was nearly ready to drop the game. But this is something that it would be easy for the game to detect (tho deciding the details of how it does so may be more difficult).

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like the game to inform a user if they have fallen into this trap and what might be causing it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I'm not sure if there are alternatives beyond "change nothing". Clearly not everyone falls into this trap, and not all of those people are giving up, so that is a valid alternative. I just think this warning would be better.
