Timer staying present on Dynamic Island

After setting a timer, it intermittently remains on the Dynamic Island with the icon and 0:00 in amber. The only way of removing is to reset. I have updated to the latest software.

This does not solve the issue. The timer is staying on the dynamic island for over 24 hours at this point. Closing the app does nothing. Only restarting the phone will remove it. And then as soon as you use the timer again it remains in the dynamic island until you turn the phone off. Even using other features that should show on the island (like Spotify or phone calls) do not displace the timer.
