I’ve seen some tutorials about making a timer, But i tried it in a different way. This is working perfectly and this is very simple. I want to know that if anything go wrong by this method. (NOTE:- 12 hour timer) ![image_2022-10-17_114544625](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/4/14eecf406d94137fb9dc1f80b5c41d421bfb6e70.png) ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/2/32d79caa412dacc58141bd3691352e8b165b0d21.png) ---

Why do you have a `forever loop` inside the `timer fire event`? ---

How often does the timer fire? Can you explain your logic? I’m curious why you’re subtracting from 12 and 24 hours. ---

I edited the blocks. It’s working fine even without the timer. Can you review? ---
