Ask HN: Is there a way to get previous iOS timer behaviour back?

In iOS 17 Apple changed the Clock app in such a way that if you adjust the timer without starting it and then enough time passes that the screen locks, or you just switch away to a different app for a moment and switch back, the timer will reset itself to previous value. It's infuriating. Nothing else behaves this way. When I prepare utensils in the kitchen, they don't jump back into drawers the moment I turn my eyes away from them. Microsoft Word also won't delete your last paragraph, if you Alt-Tab before saving the document. On multiple occasions this caused me to start the timer with an unintended value. Is there a way to get the old behaviour back?
