Wait 5 minutes (message shows 55 minutes remaining before next break)
Enable DND mode
Disable DND mode
Message shows 60 minutes before next break
...
Reproduces how often: 100% of the time
Expected Behavior
I'm setting a time between (long) breaks to be 60 minutes.
If there is N minutes left before the next break, and then I start DND mode, I'm expecting the delay to be still N minutes left before the next break when I disable DND mode
Same thing for app exclusions, when I enable an excluded app and then kill it, the time to the next break should be saved and resumed but it is reset to 60 minutes
Actual Behavior
In practice, the timer resets to 60 minutes every time I start and exit DND mode
