Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I save my countdowns?
This particular version of the countdown timer runs in your browser session. If you close the page or browser, the active countdown will stop, and you'll need to re-enter the details to start it again. It does not currently save countdowns to your device or account.
What is the maximum duration I can set for a countdown?
You can set countdowns for dates far into the future. The display is designed to handle many days, but extremely long countdowns (many decades) might look a bit unusual in the "days" segment, though the calculation will be correct.
Does the timer adjust for different time zones?
The countdown is based on the date and time you input and compares it against your device's current local time. If you are setting a countdown for an event in a different time zone, you should input the event's date and time according to that event's local time zone, or convert it to your own time zone before setting the timer.
Is the countdown perfectly accurate to the second?
The countdown updates every second and strives for accuracy based on your device's clock. Minor discrepancies (less than a second) can sometimes occur due to browser processing or the exact timing of the interval updates. For most purposes, it's very precise.
