Accidentally left chronograph running on speedy 1863 movement

I started the timer earlier this morning and completely forgotten that it was on until about 6 hours later. Does it cause any harm to the movement?

Also, when I resetted it, it looks like the hour marker at the 6:00 subdial was a little to the left instead of being perfectly aligned in the middle at 12. When I ran it again several times afterwards for a few minutes, it looks like it went back to the 12:00 position. Is that normal?

Thanks!

Definitely not an issue. It just links to the running seconds and will use a bit more power but that’s about it!

Zero issues, that's what it's there for. Enjoy :)

It’s a Chronograph!!! Why would using a function of the watch harm it??
