Yes

What was the Problem?

If I setup a sleep timer and then turn of my display the timer and then after some time turn my phone screen back on the timer either did not continued or sometimes even resets.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Go to the Library Page and start an audiobook
Setup a sleep timer and turn of your display
Wait a Minute or 2 and then unlock your phone
Now check the timer popup again. It either freezed or entirely resets to the starting time of the timer

What was Expected?

Well I expected the timer to keep going down and stop my current playback even if I turn of my screen 😅

Do you have "Disable shake to reset" or "Disable vibrate on reset" settings turned on?

Picking up the phone can be enough to reset the sleep timer, so you may be shaking the phone enough to reset the timer and not have the vibration enabled.
