I'm not 100% sure, this is a guess based on other refinery behavior / bugs I've seen so far, but try simply leaving it running a moment.

Previously refineries had issues displaying things in regards to the timer and percentage value correctly, that might be what's going on. With an item like rare metal element, which is supposed to have a pretty long refine time, it might just be that it's working behind the scenes but not displaying it properly.

Or, it really is bugged; given the state refinery recipes were in before I wouldn't be surprised of that either

Holy crap, Jonny, Thanks! It was stuck for me too. Trying to maw Rare Metal and it was just sitting there at 0% so I took your advice. Hopped in my base portal to a random space station and back and it was done. Thanks a ton.

So I'm playing on console and was looking into this bug when I found this thread. It looks like it takes the advertised time to create the items but it won't show the time for the FIRST item. When you make things like Raw Metal, Carbon Crystals, Chloride Lattices etc. in bulk, once the first one is made the percentage and timer will show correctly. This is on console so I'm not sure if the same will be true for the PC release but hopefully that helps.

Edit: I tried this again and found out you need to be in the refinery menu in order for it to start counting down and showing the correct times.
