Hi Jorgen, just to confirm, switching all code as-is to app_timer2.c looks to have completely fixed the problem, thanks!

Awesome, thanks Jorgen, yes, that certainly sounds like the same problem! Yes, this is a fairly large application with many app timers, it is likely that I am starting at least 1 timer with a timerout > 256 seconds. I will try the app_timer2 implementation first. Will report back with my results tomorrow morning. Thanks!

Hi,

Are you running multiple timers in your application? Your symptoms sound like they could be caused by this known bug in app_timer (it is mentioned in SDK 15.x.0 known issues thread).

I don't know which SDK version you are using, but in SDK 15.x.0, there is a new implementation of app_timer, app_timer2. You can try changing to this new version and see if this solve the issue.

Best regards,
Jørgen
