Hey @dukeofchiwawa , just jumping in since I’m facing the same problem. Yeah, this happens because browsers pause or slow down timers and animations when you switch tabs or minimize the window. So things like scheduler , update() , and even tweens won’t run properly in the background. Your workaround using Date.now() in update() works well for countdowns since it uses real time instead of frame time.
