I need to rework the timer code anyway to support a mobile version, Though currently the code has a timer triggering every 1 second. When the browser goes into the background it tends to slow the number of functions that can trigger in the background. I am assuming this is going above the 1 second hence slowing this down. I am not sure when I will have time to address this properly, though I can take a look at making it validate the time remaining based on a start time rather than time remaining.

@sekwah41 thanks for quick response! it sound like a good work

[Inori-Lover]

sorry for the wrong operate.

Making this a high priority now as it majorly causes an issue for the reliability

I added some additional logic and tested it now to sync the countdown with the timer as well as try to re-align the ticking interval to be as close to the second as possible so when it is maximised, it should re-align asap and avoid potentially skipping a second visually every now and then.

I not only minimised it in the background but also put the laptop to sleep for a few mins and it seems to be fine :D
