If I click an "end" on a timer, the countdown timer always resets to 6:00 minutes

Hi,
I have a timer, that should count down from a give value. I noticed, that the automation that I use is always triggered every 6 minutes. I went to
settings → devices & services → helper → the timer
and nopticed, that if I click on “end” it starts from 6:00 minutes

See above “beenden” = “end”
I made a new timer triple checked that there was no time associated when creating, and the same story. it resets to 6:00. If set the timer to a higher value it counts down from the higher. If I click on (abbrechen) “abort” it also starts at 6:00.
My question: Where do the 6:00 minutes come from? Any idea? And how can I avoid it. I want a timer to end when it counted down from whatever value I gave him.

If I click on pause than abort or end, the timer ends.

thank you

HI,
sorry to solve my own problems. I had timer configured with spooky to 6:00 minutes. Which seems to set the default for each timer to 6:00 minutes. I was not expecting this.
Developer tools → action → timer.set_duration
there you can set the default duratiuon for each timer to a value it seems. I was confused from the description.

timer.set_duration is not part of default HA, but part of the Spook integration. You can set the default time of a timer on creation of the timer:

Or once you have created the timer in the timer settings:

This is not the problem. I set the time in a script, and this works fine. It runs from 6:00 minutes to 0:00 and this works as well, But when going to 00:00 happens I set the timer in the script on “pause”. And this is, what did not work. I now do

action: timer.pause
metadata: {}
data: {}
target:
  entity_id: timer.wz_radio_timer
action: timer.finish
metadata: {}
data: {}
target:
  entity_id: timer.wz_radio_timer
enabled: true

and the timer ends. Before I only had one of these and this was not solving the problem.
