&lt;p&gt;In your code you have:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;timer_config.interrupt_priority = 0;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;riority 0 is the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;very highest priority&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, above Zephyr’s own kernel and system ISRs. Using that for a periodic timer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;that keeps firing can starve everything else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Try e.g. this instead&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;timer_config.interrupt_priority = NRFX_TIMER_DEFAULT_CONFIG_IRQ_PRIORITY;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
