We got 2.5 inches rain last night and CK30 was outside. Went to bush hog this morning, key on, clutch in, glow plug indicator on, goes off, crank tractor, let out on clutch and light back on. Clutch in OFF. Clutch out ON.
I begin mowing and light finally off after 15 minutes

Do i have anything to worry about?

Very long glow times will deplete the battery and wear out glow plugs prematurely. Fifteen minutes is too long but it's not a disaster.
But the glow light doesn't necessarily mean the glow plugs are actually powered. I recommend you wait to see if the problem fixes itself; maybe this is caused by trapped water and will resolve. If the "problem" persists, use a voltmeter to determine if the glow plugs are truly powered or if it's an indicator problem.

Happened to my CK30 when it was new. Relay stuck on and flattened the battery. I was concerned it may have damaged the Glowplugs but 9 years later they still work. Relay was replaced under warranty.

My glow plugs stayed on when the timer relay went bad.
