 I&amp;#39;m facing an issue with app_timer_start. Indeed, with small values, sometimes, the app_timer_start won&amp;#39;t start the timer. As a result, the interrupt handler is not triggering. 
 i&amp;#39;m using FreeRTOS, i know that app_timer is using a specific task</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 23 Mar 2021 18:16:10 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/73112/app_timer_start-does-not-start-the-timer-freertos" /><item><title>RE: app_timer_start does not start the timer (freeRTOS)</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/301540?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 23 Mar 2021 18:16:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:2a2f9f3d-2d7b-4de8-bb7b-c1535be39e33</guid><dc:creator>Aurele</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have finally found out the root cause of the issue. It was coming from the fact that there was a nrf_delay_ms (150) in a timer handler. I guess it was delaying all other timer, and moreover, it was for sure blocking all task with a lower priority (that is to say every task as my timer task is the one with the highest priority).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
