I know how the time bubble works, and that's why I see a problem. It should still have been 15 years because of the bubble.

Add those 15 years to the 5 that has passed since the Calamity (1.0 to 2.0 timeline), and you have 20.

1.0's Echo sequences including the death of Warburton were 10 years prior to 1.0, not 15. It would be 15 in current Eorzea.
