This is later revealed to be an invasion by a highly advanced race
At one point during the story of Gantz, the titular black sphere starts displaying a countdown clock that warns the heroes of an upcoming apocalyptic event called the Katastrophe. 
As the 3-day limit was about to take effect, Toki briefly counters it by giving Rei one more day by touching the Shinreidai power point. During his final days of life, Rei and his allies would fight Yuda. When he was struck, Rei was given 72 hours to live.
In Fist of the North Star, Rei was pierced in the Shinketsushuu power point by Raoh. Therefore the countdown is actually to the point zero of Fate. It turns out this is the count to Kiritsugu finding Shirou, as revealed in episode 25. Since Irisviel is the conduit for the grail and the manifestation will obliterate her personality, this effectively acts as her Death's Hourglass. The On the Next _ preview shows how much time is left before the Holy Grail appears. 
At the same time, however, they cannot kill someone for the purpose of saving another, as saving lives goes against being a Shinigami: doing so will kill the Shinigami, and whatever is left of their lifespan will be granted to whomever they were trying to save.
Shinigami are encouraged to kill people before their time expires because that's how they extend their own lives. However, using a death note allows you to kill people before their time and indirectly extend lives. note This is one reason why in the companion novel Another Note Beyond Birthday is so fucked up. It's only visible to those with a Shinigami's eyes.and even in that case, such a person cannot see their own numbers. Everyone has a time at which they are destined to die. (It looks almost like a glow-y pie chart.) The more Chrono uses her soul to power himself, the less the watch's face glows. Rosette's watch in Chrono Crusade shows how much of her soul she has left from her Deal with the Devil. 
In Alice 19th, Frey's mentor Eric dies after literal bells ring twelve times.
