I have been struggling with Phalcon and its inner Models PDO parser for hours with the same problem.

I found this solution:

public static function getTimedoutRequests($secsThreshold) {
    return self::find(
        array(
            // PDO is buggy here, can't use INTERVAL
            "DATE_PART('epoch', create_time) < DATE_PART('epoch', NOW()) - ?0",
            "bind" => array(
                $secsThreshold
            )
        )
    );
}
