25 hours is correct, but I have observed at four airlines that they seem to schedule new-hires for 40-ish, probably to ensure they have enough landings and approaches.
You're not in any trouble unless the CKA on your last scheduled IOE trip tells you he cannot sign you off, and will need to request additional IOE.
