The problem
If you have a frequently started timer active and you perform a reboot, when the system comes back up the timer when started again (while active) will do so, but minus the downtime.
Example, create a timer called "timer.test_timer" with the restore option ticked and duration 00:30:00
In an automation have a test boolean that when toggled on will timer:start the timer.test_timer as its action.
Each time it's toggled on the timer will restart from 00:30:00
Now let the timer count down to say 00:25:00 and shut down Home Assistant for 5 minutes.
When HA restarts the counter resumes from the lower time.
All good so far.
But now when you toggle the test boolean, it no longer restarts with the default time as set in the helper.
Instead it will keep restarting with the time that was remaining at start-up.
When the timer is cancelled or finished then timer:start resumes back to the correct default time
