Slight error in my Steps to Reproduce. Step 2 should be a 10 second timeout, not 5.

Well Sidewinder is right but the other way around.
TIMEOUT - works as it should. (CORRECT)
COUNTDOWN - behaves like TIMEOUT (NOT CORRECT)

I'm Attaching Simple (Trigger_Timeout_or_Countdown.Stratis.rar) TEST Mission that reproduces the behavior (includes visual TIMERS).

Closing in favor of #8398, which contains more correct info.
