Hi there,

Just following up after some relevant discussion in [Basic timer question](https://community.thunkable.com/t/basic-timer-question/1300622) :

If you set your Timer interval to 1000ms, and set `Loops` to true, you can use the Timer block [Time in milliseconds](https://docs.thunkable.com/timer#get-time-in-milliseconds) to return the remaining time in milliseconds from this timer.

If `Count Up` is `false`, you will get the remaining time from the Timer’s interval in milliseconds.

If `Count Up` is `true`, you will get the elapsed time from the Timer’s interval in milliseconds.

You can see a project that demonstrates this behavior [here](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/60adf15cf59875001247e31a/).
