First thing to note is that the duration that the Supplier user gets and the duration allies get are different. 

If the remaining duration on the ally's supply is more than what Supplier-given supply is, it will not prolong it. If the remaining duration is less than what the Supplier-given supply is, it will set their remaining duration to that indicative of the Supplier's upgrade level. 

Examples:

 

20/20 Supplier gives a supply to an ally for a maximum duration of 20 seconds.

 

• Player A manually activates their Boosted Damage which has a duration of 30 seconds. The Supplier activates Boosted Damage near Player A when they have 25 seconds remaining. The result is nothing will change. Player A will continue having 25 seconds of duration left.

 

• Player B manually activates their Boosted Armour which has a duration of 30 seconds. The Supplier activates Boosted Armour near Player B when they have 10 seconds remaining. The result is Player B's remaining BA duration will be increased to 20 seconds. Manually actiavted BA, BD and SB have 20 seconds of downtime after the 30 second duration is finished. A Supplier increasing Player B's remaining duration to 20 seconds will allow them to have their supply active longer than usual, and when that duration is finished, they will only wait 20 - 10 = 10 seconds of downtime. The 20 is the base downtime of the supply and 10 is the prolonged duration that the Supplier gave.
