### Issue Type (Required):

Player Mechanics

### Issue Description (Required):

In a mission I just played as Veteran, I had a weird instance where I was knocked down, helped back up by a teammate, and saw that my Executioner Stance cooldown was at negative 1000 seconds or so, and was counting down, deeper negative, farther away from 0. It was NOT just a UI bug either, because LONG after any cooldown I might have had on it should have expired (30 seconds or so), pressing F to activate the ability would NOT work. Nothing would happen. It only fixed itself after I died & got captured, and then rescued by my team. I’ve only had this happen once so far.

### Steps to Reproduce (Required):

1. Play Vet
2. Get Knocked Down I guess?
3. See if the cooldown timer is screwed up
4. I don’t remember if Executioner’s Stance was on cooldown when I was first knocked down, so maybe experiment and see if that has anything to do with it.

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Once

### Platform (Required):

PC - Steam
