Hey @ManabBala, well that is a complicated one since the timer is using requestAnimationFrame to measure elapsed time, which is suspended when the browser tab is not active. One way to go around it is to detect when the tab is not active, pause the timer and start measuring the elapsed time using setIntertval, which should run even when the tab is not active. But all of this will require custom logic that is not built in the timer.

Hey @ManabBala, have you managed to find a solution for this problem?
