Diminishing Time Value-1

This graph suggests that time value diminishes less strongly towards expiration.

Is that close to reality? Please answer with yes or no.

If you hold an option that expires in 5 days, after 3 days you will have "consumed" 60% of the time it is valid. However, if you hold an option that expires in 20 days, after 3 days you will have consumed only 15% of the time it is valid.
