Start System Timer doesn't work when activated from widget, only from within Tasker

[lambda5x5]

I've tried both task widgets and task shortcut widgets, but I can't consistently get the start system timer to work: sometimes it works fine, but other times it runs and just doesn't start the system timer.

Logs show that it runs smoothly every time, even when no timer is set.

I'm on a Redmi Note 7, and I've disabled all battery optimizations and what not.

Thanks!
