here-api returns different traveling times in the same request

I am calculating a route with the here.com Direction API. The problem: The API returns different traveling times in the same request. Or I just don't understand the response.

The summary object return this travelTime: 8944 = 2:19h
The same summary objects returns a travelTime of 2:13h within the text attribute.

What's wrong here?

The summary objects

summary: {distance: 164517, trafficTime: 8944, baseTime: 7998, flags: ["motorway", "builtUpArea"],…}
_type: "RouteSummaryType"
baseTime: 7998
distance: 164517
flags: ["motorway", "builtUpArea"]
text: "The trip takes <span class="length">165 km</span> and <span class="time">2:13 h</span>."
trafficTime: 8944
travelTime: 8944

The JSON Request:

You should find the description of different times here : https://developer.here.com/rest-apis/documentation/routing/topics/resource-type-route-summary.html

TrafficTime : Contains the travel time estimate in seconds for this element, considering traffic and transport mode. Based on the TrafficSpeed. The service may also account for additional time penalties, so this may be greater than the element length divided by the TrafficSpeed.

BaseTime : Contains the travel time estimate in seconds for this element, considering transport mode but not traffic conditions. Based on the BaseSpeed. The service may also account for additional time penalties, therefore this may be greater than the element length divided by the BaseSpeed.

TravelTime : Total travel time in seconds optionally considering traffic depending on the request parameters.
