CountDownTimer widget - context object refresh stops timer

[psilordOG]

CountDownTimerWidget

Using this widget on a responsive web page. The EndDate attribute is coming from a page parameter context object. When the page parameter object is changed, committed and refreshed, the timer stops counting down.

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add the countdowntimer widget to a page and configure it to obtain the EndDate from a Datetime attribute of a page attribute.
2. A button that updates the page attribute object, commits the change and refreshes the page attribute in the client.
3. The countdown stops and does not resume.
4. Manual update/refresh via button changes the timer value (seconds reduce once) but the automatic countdown does not resume.

Expected behavior
Expect the countdown to continue after EndDate attribute is updated and refreshed.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Browser Chrome
• Version 106

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.
We are attempting to use this widget to countdown to a specific date and time and then show a checkbox. The countdown starts and updates visually until the context is changed or refreshed. Afterward it appears "stuck" and no longer updates the countdown digits.
