For example, I am attaching a screenshot that demonstrates the difference. The widget timer was started first, and the second was literally immediately launched online. (179.53 KB, image/png)

STAGES OF REPRODUCTION
1. Install the Timer widget on the control panel
2. Start the timer

THE OBSERVED RESULT
Make sure that the timer expires every minute about 7-8 seconds faster than the standard expiration time.

The expected result
is that the timer should work correctly and have no significant deviation.

Thank you for the bug report!

Unfortunately, Plasma 6.3.6 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. It's possible that the issue exists only in Parrot Security at this point. I'm not able to reproduce the bug on Plasma built from git-master.

If you need support for Plasma 6.3.6, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE.

If this issue is still reproducible in Plasma 6.5.4 (the latest released version), feel free to re-open this bug report.

Thanks for understanding.
