In some cases our node read time did not return a value. Debugging this showed that in the module where it retrieves the read time, we received a string value of 0.
This is then passed to PHP function ceil() which gives an error in PHP 8.1:
TypeError: ceil(): Argument #1 ($num) must be of type int|float, string given in function ceil() (line 152 in file /var/www/html/builds/2023-01-04.14-04-25.commit--afc366d/web/modules/contrib/read_time/read_time.module)
The error disappeared when the node was saved again and the actual read time was available but several content pages were broken because of this.
Make sure that the ceil() function int the module file is always receiving an int type of value.
I attached a small patch which makes sure that the value is always an int which seemed to fix the issue for us.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Thank you @HeikkiY. I commited it to 2.x branch. It will be available in the next release.
Instead of
$time = (int) $time;
I added
$time = (float) $time;
otherwise you are getting the read time of 0 min. Additionally we could show also seconds, but this would be a new feature.
