In 2025 is duration "for" in Triggers causing issues

  1. In 2025 does the duratrion “for” in triggers still cause an issue when the system restarts and that the automation will keep running?

  2. Is helper “timer” still the preferrred alterative to “for”?

Restarting Home Assistant will terminate any automation that is processing its actions.

It also terminates any automation’s trigger that employs a for option.

A trigger’s for option and a timer entity don’t serve the same purpose.
