Losing infernal flame even after casting

Description "10% of infernal flame lost per second if none was gained in the past 2 seconds"

When I cast Command: Gas Arrow (skeleton sniper skill) - The cost is 40 infernal flame, yet if I keep casting it my infernal flame will decrease as if I didnt spend any. It might be due to the fact it doesnt have the spell tag, but it does have a cost.

(Reference 3,861,920,180)

On another note, Im also not sure if you always suicide if you reach 100% infernal flame. Shouldnt the fire damage be mitigated by fire resistances?

For some more context, this seems to be happening to all skills that have a cooldown. Any grenade skills for example, will not pause the infernal flame loss on use.

To add on to this topic, Stampede wasn't preventing infernal flame loss either for me. Using it would generate flame but it would instantly be lost right as the ability was being casted. Similarly, if I gain Infernal Flame through some other skill (ie. Infernal Cry), casting Stampede repeatedly after does not prevent the flame from being lost.
