Sleep timer gets randomly cancelled

[mebarbosa]

Description

We have two users reporting that got sleep timer randomly cancelled

Sleep timer rarely works. I set it to 25 minutes but it’s still playing after that time. I can’t rely on it.

i see it at least once per day maby more, it mostly seems random but & the thing is I have noticed it count down randomly throughout the episode but also few seconds before the timer ends (this happens more, the former happend randomly) and once the timer becomes bad the next autoplay timer also repeats the same problem so it's repeatable but also not trackable [...] Most likely in the background but I saw the visual countdown of the episodes happen in the foreground especially with it happening on an repeat timer (Clock timer is fine btw, tho less then 5 mins can be a tad inaccurate but I don't think much can be done with that) [...] Hmmmm I generally set the timer to 4 or 5 & it's good for the first 3+ times but then it gets caught & will randomly choose to count down in the last few seconds of the podcast I noticed (autoplay will repeat the behaviour hence why I noticed)-I think I noticed it happened more with episodes that have skip last but some is happening no problems -
It is at least twice a day+ tho what's interesting is tho is once the timer is bugged & cancled it will display and hold the set number but if I go into it and then cancel it to actually fix(because it's technically still bugged) the timer it actually goes back to 1 so maby that's playing into it

I can't reproduce this issue.

To be registered what I tried:

• I tried with 25 minutes custom time with the app in background and device locked and it worked as expected ✅
• Fixed time, remove the app from the list of opened apps and lock the device. It also worked as expected ✅
• Tried with skip last and skip first episodes set and it worked as expected ✅

For some reason the sleep timer will reset itself. Checked the forum and others have the same issue. Not sure I can live with that and they don't seem interested in solving
